Precis (Due Feb. 12th, Feb. 26th, Mar. 12th, & Apr. 30th)

Directions: You will write four (4) short (one page) critiques of the articles or chapters you read for your research, one of which must relate to your report topic and three of which must relate to your research paper topic (you will submit the one for your report topic on the day of the report). Each of these must contain a full MLA style reference and an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the piece you read. You may include enough summary for readers to understand the main thrust of the article, but keep summary to a minimum and focus on your analysis. No more than a third of the page should be summary.
