Instructions: Quiz 3
This quiz counts for 10% of the course grade. It will cover the readings of class meetings #20-26 and will take place at a time yet to be determined on Monday March 5 or Tuesday March 6. The quiz will consist of a short essay based on your choice of one question from two or three of the series of ca. 15 "readings topics/questions" posted by the instructor at the bottom of this page at the rate of two per class meeting. Your essay will be evaluated by the relevance of your argumentation and by the quantity, reliability, and pertinence of the factual information you cite.
You are strongly encouraged to discuss outside of class the topics/questions being covered by this quiz with your classmates. These discussions (whether strictly of question-and-answer form or genuine debates over issues) will be monitored by the instructor, but he will not participate in them, either as "player" or "referee". To gain access to the actual discussion forum for this quiz, enter Discussion.
For a selection of responses that the instructor found particularly praiseworthy while evaluating this year's quiz, see the listings on Best Answers.
