it is your responsibility to
1.post two discussion questions about our readings
2. write a 250 word response to the readings this is not a summary but your reaction to the ideas expressed. What did you find interesting? Troubling? What did you think the author got right or wrong about their subject. This is very free form, but you should use it as an opportunity to hone your writing skills.
These exercises allow both me and your comrades to get a sense of what you got out of the readings and what you would like to discuss. I encourage you to put texts we have read in dialogue with each other throughout the course. Feel free to ask clarifying/factual questions in addition to discussion questions. Here are examples of both types of questions:
Discussion question this is a question without a clear, easily researched answer that will lead to open discussion and debate:
What are the similarities and differences between Fordism and Stalinism? How does reading Engels change the way that we see Smith?
Clarifying/Factual Question this is a question with a clear, empirical answer:
When did the Russian Revolution happen? What was the constituent assembly?
In the seminar itself, I expect you to have something to say about the texts and to contribute to a lively discussion of course materials. Our discussions should be animated, but respectful to the authors, and most importantly, to fellow students. You will disagree with texts and each other, but I expect you to express your opinions without insulting anyone.
