Description of Data Collection:
Students are regularly given quizzes based on the readings. The quizzes are designed to ensure that students have read the texts carefully. Students write two 4-page papers; for each paper students can choose from two prompts. The papers are graded for both writing and analysis, and they are returned with detailed comments. The goal is to provide an example of formal writing and to indicate to the student what is required in terms of analysis. There is a midterm as well as a final exam.
