Assignment link for Week Six AND Week Seven are not active.

Note the assignments described in the link this week cover a two week period of reading, discussion, writing, and review.  


Because of the volume of reading and the writing which accompanies it, this series of reading and writing exercises covers a two week period.  


I won't tell you how to divide up the reading and writing so as to fit it into a two week period.  I will tell you it can't be done well in a single week. Having said this, I suspect you'll end up with a few days to look back over your work for the semester to date and to consider how you can revise it and improve specific posts and add to the discussion.  


Part of what I am doing in this two week period is opening up some time for you to think about such issues and what has been said to date about the reading and issues it raises.  As part of this thinking, make sure to take a look at what has been written by your committee- and class- mates. In particular, I encourage you to look at your own writing and think about places where it could be informed and improved by reference to the literature you've read, discussed, and written about.  


As always, write with questions.  I've been very impressed with the thinking and discussion to date, and I'm looking forward to what you'll do with the issues raised in this and last week's reading.  Perhaps the single most important questions a citizen of a democracy can ask is what are the tactics which one should use to create change in a democratic society, and what causes are worth which tactics and my investment of life, liberty, and happiness?
