If people have discussion questions for the class, can you please post them in advance of the class session?

Much appreciated.  Also–can people post the discussion questions they generated for previous class sessions if they are not up already?

Tomorrow we are going to finish talking about Marable’s book and the Spike Lee film.
But we are going to start the class by speaking for about 20 minutes about a chapter in Semenza’s book _Graduate Studies for the 21st Century,” which is available as an e-book through our library (you do not have to buy it).  The chapter is called “The Seminar Paper.”  Do not take his remarks about needing to produce a publishable seminar paper too much to heart…focus instead on what he says about the research process, which is very useful.
