In lieu of in-class discussion on this I am creating a discussion forum. Posting is not required, but if you have questions - especially about the research paper, like how to cite particular sources, how to integrate quotes into the body of your paper, evaluating sources, et cetera - then please post here. (You can also send me an e-mail, but the forum has the advantage of being accessible to everyone, and so allowing discussion.)

I will also add some of my notes for this discussion, which will hopefully answer some questions right off the bat.
