A&B Chapter 1 quiz


Read "Fresh air...Davies." On facing pages in your WN, play the "Believing and Doubting Game" by writing reasons to believe the ESPN article on one page, and reasons to doubt it on the other.

Note from A&B, Chapter 2, pp. 29-30:
dualists--think there are right and wrong answers, the professor knows the right answers, and it's the students' job to learn them.
multiplists--think all answers are equally valid and professors merely want students to have an opinion and state it strongly.
relativism--is the best: take a position in the face of complexity and justify that decision after weighing the reasons and evidence.

What's Your Angle? Handout describes Paper 3: Problematizing a Topic (the last page has a schedule).

HOMEWORK:
1. Read A&B Skill 7 (starts on p. 519) and Skill 25 (p. 597).
2. Decide on a paper topic, and bring an internet article on that topic.
