SCDs

Short(er) Critical Discussions (SCDs)
(20% of course grade)

Throughout the semester, I will ask you to write two short critical discussions (~2-3 single-spaced pages). In these discussions, you will respond to one of several prompts designed to help you master some of the theories and concepts that underlie each of our critical problems. These prompts may ask you to apply, extend, or explain a particular concept, or they may ask you to develop an idea from your blog posts into a coherent argument. All prompts will ask you to carefully and expertly synthesize two (or more) critical texts into a clear, thesis-driven discussion. I will distribute three SCDs, but you only need to complete two.
