Students are required to participate in four Discussion sessions. During Week 3, students should study Chapters 6-10 in the text by Meese et al. They should then discuss one or more of the textbook topics in relation to current or historical events. But they should not plan to reuse what they have written in Weeks 2 and 3 for the Midterm Essay in Week 4 (although they could build upon it). Each response should be factual, logical, and relevant to National Security Policy. Students should not cut and paste from other sources. And they should not quote or paraphrase someone else’s work without proper citation. All responses under Discussions should be written in the students’ own words. But they should not submit work that was done for other classes or other purposes. Responses are graded by comparison, qualitatively as well as quantitatively. And students can compare their responses to the responses of other students.
Grades in this course do not depend on whether students agree with the author of the text or with the professor. There are many different opinions regarding these subjects. Indeed, some of the topics are controversial and thus importacixnt if for no other reason.
