Description

Write a precis. A precis is a short description of a reading assignment, much like a book report. It should not contain any interpretation, examples, or objections. It should be limited simply to outlining the positions and arguments as they are found in the reading. Precis should be between 250-300 words (about a page), and should be typed, double spaced, 12pt font, or equivalent. To earn credit, it should be related to the chapter that we read for that module , and turned in during the week that we discuss and cover that chapter in class. It is of no value to write a precis after we have talked about it in class, so late precis will not be accepted for credit.

A precis should never directly quote any author, or any part of the text. Instead, summarize the main points, and cite your sources. Any precis that includes a direct quote from any author, either attributed or unattributed, will receive no credit.

The purpose of this assignment is to get you to think about the reading, and participate in class discussion. It is also a valuable exercise to assist you in studying and note-taking, since a precis is essentially an outline of the chapter, or part of the chapter, we cover in the module.

Textbook pages will be provided.
