=== Weekly Reflections ===

;Deliverables: (1) Post a message in the appropriate [https://canvas.uw.edu/courses/1353880/discussion_topics course discussion board]; (2) Respond to at least one of your classmates before class.
;Due Date: (1) Every Monday (on a week with reading); (2) Every Tuesday at 1:30 (on a week with reading)
;Maximum length: 1,000 words

For every week that we have readings (i.e., every week except for the consulting weeks and and the final presentation weeks), I'm asking everybody to reflect on the readings by the day before class and to share their reflections with everybody else. Because we're skipping the first week, that works out to a total of six reflections.

Reflections should be no more than 1000 words (about one single-spaced page). So everyone will have a chance to read the reflections before class, response papers should be posted to our course website the day before (i.e., before midnight each Monday) so that we can all read and construct responses. Please also pose one or two open-ended discussion questions that may serve as jumping off points for our in-class conversation. Don't bother with summarizing (we've all done the reading after all) and focus on engaging with ideas.

In terms of content, response papers offer you an opportunity to engage the readings by identifying common or conflicting premises, thinking through potential implications, offering political or cultural examples, posing well-supported objections, or outlining critical extensions. In my experience, the most thought provoking reflections go beyond pointing out things that one wonders about or finds interesting and explain why you find it interesting.
 
Turn in your response paper to Canvas by posting a new message in the appropriate day in [https://canvas.uw.edu/courses/1353880/discussion_topics the course the discussion board].

I'd also like everybody read over everybody else's responses and respond to at least one person—evening things out so that not everybody response to one person would be nice, but use your judgement.
