Journals are informal, but intelligent response on
each week's content and issues. Their purpose is to help students
practice responding thoughtfully to articles, concepts and theoretical
ideas. They should be at least 1 to 1 1/2 pages, typed, double
spaced and not more than 3 pages in length. Clear, hand written commentaries are also
acceptable (2 pages hand written). One is due every week
(until the last week) and topics are assigned every week (see below). Journals are always due on
the second day of the week. See
