Requirements

Simple!

  1. Come to class and be an active participant
  2. Take responsibility for leading the discussion of a couple of articles/chapters
  3. Write two short papers ('squibs') on a topic related to the couse.

Requirements (1) and (2) apply to listeners as well as to registered students. Ideally, the two squibs should be on different topics, one related to the traditionally linguistic issues discussed in the first half of the course, the other related to the traditionally psycholinguistic issues discussed in the second half of the course. There are many different interesting areas that could be explored, and if you're unsure of what to do, you should come talk to me for suggestions. In any case, you should let me know in advance what you are planning to write about. The first squib is due on the day before Spring Break, Friday April 2nd, the second is due on the last day of classes, Wednesday May 20th.
