Paper Analysis and Discussion Assignment
Minimum of before class Sept 19, Oct 12, Nov 2, Nov 16, Dec 7
Your assignment is post a high-quality analysis of each pair of papers, respond
to other students analyses, and participate in the class discussions of
these papers. Your analysis should be between a paragraph and a page, but thoughtful
content counts more than length. Your analysis should be in correct and coherent English --
spelling, grammar, and punctuation count.
Post your analysis on Piazza, in the folder "paper_analysis".
