POL 240: Introduction to International Politics
Section F02
Class Participation Memo Assignments
Students are required to actively participate in the class; they will have the opportunity to do so both during and outside of classroom hours. Beginning the third week of class, each student will be assigned to three days during the semester in which they will do two things. One student will post a short newspaper article on a current or historical international event that they feel is relevant to the day’s readings. The other student(s) will author a short reaction memo (300-400 words) expressing an opinion about that day’s readings. These are NOT summaries; rather, they should attempt to agree or disagree with or compare and contrast the readings. Both should be posted in the forums on the course website by 8 PM the day before the readings are to be discussed. Students are required to read the memos and the newspaper articles sections and be prepared to respond to them the next day in class. Students are encouraged to respond to the postings online as part of their participation.
