Reflect on what you have learned, rather than summarize or present most material in bullet point
form. Although you may quote material from lectures and readings, this is best used to support your main
arguments, not as a replacement for them. Approaches in write-ups can include: * Compare and contrast ideas
from the perspective of your preexisting views*
Discuss in detail how lectures and readings surprised and challenged your previous lines of thinking and
assumptions* Think critically about ideas and lines of thought presented in lectures and reading and discuss
their strengths and weaknesses there are not “right” presentations or answers in write-ups–there are only
thoughtful discussions of diverse views. Try to provide information on each lecture/reading, even if you go into
some in more detail and depth than others. Apply course material in your write-ups, be analytical, and be
creative. Content, clarity, and breadth are considered toward your grade.
