Instructions
Due, as an attachment, via the “Assignments” tool on eCommons, by 11:55pm
Tuesday, February 21 (in PDF or any format easily converted to PDF,
e.g. MSWord, LATE X, RTF, plain text).
Answer any three of the following questions, 2–3 pages for each answer, for a
total of 6–9 pages.
The questions are keyed to different reading assignments, with the idea that
each question is raised most centrally in a certain part of the reading. However,
you can and should use material from anywhere in the text where it’s relevant to
the answer.
Your focus should be on answering the questions accurately, not on making an
original point or argument (if you want to do that, you should choose the paper
option). However, all the questions do require some thought; they can’t
simply be read out of the texts. And, of course, as usual, your answer
must be “original” in the sense that it is your own work. (If you use any
outside source—which I don’t recommend—you must cite it.)[1]If you have
any questions about policies on plagiarism and related issues, please see

You can find answers to some commonly asked questions about my
assignments and grading in my FAQ.
