Demonstrating knowledge

-Each summary should demonstrate that you have read and understood the paper, and should be
carefully written. Grades will be assigned based on demonstrating knowledge of the paper and the
quality of the summary. Around half of each summary (one-page) should summarize the authors’
main points, while the rest should be dedicated to an analysis of the paper as described below.
– Some questions you may want to consider in your analysis of the paper: Did you agree or
disagree with the conclusions? Did you find any flaws in the authors’ reasoning? What was the
most interesting part of the reading? Did the reading make you rethink your opinion on the issue?
Are there other related issues or questions you would like to discuss in class? You do not have to
answer all or any of these specific questions.
