ARHI 304: Contemporary Art Instructor: Gregory Tentler Class Time and Location: TR 12:30-1:45PM, O’Shaughnessy Hall Rm. 107 Office Hours: Monday and Wednesday 2:00-4:00PM and by appointment Reading Response Assignment Length: 500-750 Words

Format: Word Document Submission: [email protected] and [email protected] Over the course of the semester students will submit 3 response papers based on an assigned and/or recommended reading/readings. An optional fourth response may be submitted if students would like to improve their overall average (only the top three grades will be included in figuring the final mark). Please note, however, that this option is only available if students have submitted three previous reading responses. The aim of the assignment is to practice critical analysis of scholarly texts and to work on clear and concise writing. No additional research is necessary beyond the text under review. After you have read your selected work you should sketch out the main points and structure of the writing to better clarify your ideas. Once completed, organize the main points in anticipation of your response. The paper should provide a summary and analysis of the author’s thesis and methodology. The response should also assess, to some degree, the success achieved by the author in her or his stated or inferred goals. Students will select the readings they wish to discuss. If questions or concerns arise in the preparation of your responses, please attend the office hours listed above or schedule an appointment with me.
