Assignments

Required: Please read 2 drafts in your peer review group. Leave at least 7 comments in each draft, preferably distributed throughout the article from beginning to end.

Required: Add relevant a news item toΒ D&T News Items 2023.

Optional: 11/27 Timed Exercise, available until Wednesday at 2pm. Important notes:

  • For this exercise, choose one class-assigned essay by Audre Lorde or James Baldwin, AND read pages 4-6 (“Historical Approaches Connecting Media and Class”) of the Routledge Companion to Media and Class.
  • For all exercises going forward, you’ll also be asked to indicate if the exercise should be included as part of your regular “Timed Exercise” grade or “Attendance” grade. If you don’t need to make up for any unexcused absences, I recommend choosing the regular “Timed Exercise” option.
