Do the readings.<\/p>\n
To \u201cdo\u201d readings is to critically engage the material. To critically engage the material ask yourself the following questions as you read:<\/p>\n
What is the author(s) research question(s)?
\nWhat are the methods used to answer that question?
\nWhat is their argument\/answer?
\nWhat is the academic dialogue they are engaging in?
\nWhat are possible limitations?
\nHow does their work relate to your interests\/questions?<\/p>\n
Come to class prepared and with questions.<\/p>\n
My job is to facilitate classroom discussion through which we can engage the material as a group. So that this discussion is robust, I ask that each student circulate three questions to the class by noon the day before class by uploading the questions on courseworks [under the discussions tab]. Questions should prompt conversation and be deeply tied to the readings. They should cite specific passages or pages. \u201cWhat is Durkheim\u2019s theory?\u201d is too broad of a question. But \u201cwhat are the limitations to Durkheim\u2019s concept of the social fact?\u201d Is a good one. Questions that engage multiple of the week\u2019s readings are encouraged. Your questions must directly engage the classical theorist, though they can also bring in the contemporary theorist we read that week.<\/p>\n
