PRESENTATION A list of articles has been assigned as reading for each session. Students must read the assigned articles in advance of each class. Each student will act as the discussion leader, over the course of the seminar. On these occasions, the discussant leader will have to prepare two things in advance of the class: a. The discussion leader will prepare a summary of each of the articles assigned for that session. The summary should contain (in bulleted form), the main findings/contributions of that article. The discussion leader should also make photocopies of these summaries for the other students in the seminar, and pass out these summaries at the beginning of the class. These summaries will be very useful memory aid later, in quickly reviewing the main findings in this area of research. b. The discussion leader will prepare 3 overhead slides for each assigned article: (a) Key strengths of the article (theoretical/methodological) (b) Key weaknesses of the article (theoretical/methodological), and (c) Promising future research arising from the article. Each overhead should have bullet points, and the discussion leader must be prepared to orally explain the ideas contained in the bullet points. In class, the discussion leader will circulate the article summaries to the other students, and then lead the discussion of each of the assigned articles. The discussion of a particular article will commence with the discussion leader presenting the strengths and weaknesses of the article. The discussion will then be opened up to the audience. The quality of discussion leadership will be measured by the article summaries, and the strength/weakness/future research analysis of the assigned articles LIST OF TOPICS 1.
