The class is divided into two sections. First, I will privide a lecturer about a newtopic. Second, all the partipants engage in group questioning practice.

Grade: Your grade is determined by participation in the group questioning practice ineach class (13 times) (about 70%) and term paper submission (30% max.). I will adjust grades to expected levels for undergraduate programs. Regarding the term paper, the students are assinged a term paper between 1000and 2000 words (incl. any footnote, but excl. bibliography; the accepted file format is Word doc or PDF). Topic: As far as your paper addresses the themes discussed in the class, any topic is fine. Content: The term paper composes of the synopsis of the class argument and your critique of the discussion. Submission: the instruction is given in class.

Handouts are available a day or two before the class. Come preparedfor the class so that you can participate actively in class—raise questions, expressinterpretations, show critiques and objections (60 mins). After each class, students are expected to review handouts and participate in the discussion at an online discussion forum (100 mins). When making their final paper, they are expected to review all the materials, examine the literature, and write their essays (more than 720 mins in total).
