準備学習 Class work: Students will be asked to read about 10-20 pages per week. They will take a quiz to assess their understanding the assigned readings. Regular attendance is required and expected. Students who miss class are responsible for finding out what work was done and what homework is due. Giving a presentation: Students must make one group presentation that is based on research and related to the course contents. Writing a summary: Students are required to write a summary of research presentation & references, based on the individual portion of the group presentation. It must include the references the group used for their research presentation. Writing two papers: Students write reflection & response papers. They are more than just a summary, and students are requested to learn how to read, summarize, reflect on the author's ideas; and respond to the ideas in the readings (minimum four pages, for two different essays).
