Reading Assignments

Reading

The core information for this course begins with the online reader that has a set of required and additional readings for each week of the course, beginning with Week 3. The readings, beginning on Week 3, in most cases have required items everyone should read, and in addition, a considerable number of other items that address a wide range of relevant topics. Each week's readings indicate the required items and set a minimum number of additional readings from the list for that week. These readings, in addition to the class presentation, provide the material that we discuss in our Moodle forum online.

Everyone will be able to demonstrate their knowledge by explicit reference to particular articles, chapters, or other sources when making comments in the forum discussions.

Only those registered for the course or given permission as guests can access all the readings. When you click on a reading item, you may get a username/password request. Students can read the materials listed for each section at any time, but they will do best if they read the items before and during the week of the discussion. Students demonstrate their knowledge of the readings by using and makingexplicitreference to the materials in their online discussion.

The reading list is constructed with the required items listed first, followed by an often lengthy sequence of other relevant items (articles, chapters, news reports, documents) mostly in chronological order with the oldest items first and the newest items last. Partly this is to illustrate the chronological sequence of topics that have appeared in the press and in scholarly articles as well as in government and other agency documents over time.
