Problem
It has to be 3 pages long having a thesis, 3 body paragrahs, statements to back up each body paragrah and a conclusion the Syllabus: This assignment requires you to use themes from the readings and debate critically the meaning, scope, and/or practices. Critique does not simply mean your opinion; it must be well-reasoned and backed up by reconstructing the arguments and ideas from the readings. In these shorter essays, you are expected to make a strong argument about a specific week's readings, and to support this argument with theoretical and empirical evidence. External sources are not required for the short papers. Your sources for these papers are class readings, your evidence comes from those sources.
