At the beginning of class pass out your typed discussion outlines. Each week readings will be assigned to students for discussion purposes. GUIDELINES for FORMAL PRESENTATIONS of CLASS READINGS Formal class presentations should take about 30 minutes. Your job is to find information in the reading that allows us to answer the discussion questions detailed below.
