Abstract: . . . organized? • Did the authors use tables and figures appropriately? Redundantly? Haphazardly? Not at all? (Potentially) Frequently Asked Questions Q: Two commentaries a week!? That’s a lot of work. A: Yes, it is. But keep in mind that the course has no tests, and no other assign- ments. And the commentaries will become easier to write by the end of the term – I promise. Q: I’ve written everything I can think of, but my commentary is only 437 words long. Am I a bad person? . . . . . . In addition, students will be required to write a 500- word commentary on the readings for each class, and to submit them to the instructor and the discussion leader. More details about the commentaries can be found at the end of the syllabus.
