reflective responses on the reading material

Reflective Responses:

Students will submit a single-spaced one-page reflective papers (Times New Roman 12 pt. font) on the assigned reading for the class at least five times during the semester. Responses must be completed by 10 AM on the day the reading is being assigned.

Directions for writing the response papers:

1. You must say what is the central argument of the reading.
2. What is noteworthy about the reading and how is it informing you about the topic?
3. What approach does the author take? Is he/she objective or subjective in examining the issue?
4. How does the reading enhance or challenge your understanding of Asia, Asian histories, and cultural practices?
