Students also will write short “Think Pieces” which have two purposes: to prompt you to think carefully and critically, and to write clearly and succinctly, about the work(s) under consideration. These are to be brief analyses (no more than two paragraphs or 500 words total) that assess some aspect of the assigned material, such as: strengths and weaknesses; links, if any, to course themes; and questions or avenues of discussion that the class might pursue.How you go about writing these is largely up to you, but they should not just be a summary of the reading. Nor is a Think Piece a research paper. (You are, of course, welcome to look into other works on the same
subject, but you are not expected to do so.) For some advice on writing in this genre, see this overview. (9 think pieces total)
