discuss the relevant article so that it is clear you understood the main rationale, methods, results and conclusions and that you have added your own original ideas about what was done/found/concluded and/or how it fits with other knowledge/literature.

These will consist of written commentaries based on your assigned topic article every 2nd week. Commentaries will require you to both summarize and critique/discuss the relevant article so that it is clear you understood the main rationale, methods, results and conclusions and that you have added your own original ideas about what was done/found/concluded and/or how it fits with other knowledge/literature.

Each commentary should be between 1 and 2 double-spaced pages (assuming typical 12-point font size and usual margins). A copy of each commentary will be due to Turnitin.com BEFORE THE START OF THE CLASS where the article will be discussed. You CANNOT substitute a different article from the same week. Commentaries will be graded by the TA according to how well they show good conceptual understanding of the article and insight into problems and/or relevant issues.
