Here are the notes from today's class. Please read through them.

As noted on the calendar, we'll be working with our research questions during our next class meeting. So, come to class prepared on Tuesday with 2-3 potential research questions (again, review the notes I posted for ideas and guidelines). If you've already chosen 1 question to research, even better. Since your research proposals are due next Thursday, start skimming through sources now.
Once you've decided on a particular research question, check the comments here to make sure nobody's already chosen that same question. Then post it here so that there won't be too much overlap between your projects.
I will discuss the midterm on Tuesday. For this weekend, just work on coming up with research questions and reading up on them to find out what's already being said about those topics.
