Discussion Schedule

Plan

So each of you will lead two discussions during the semester with a partner (doesn’t need to be the same person each time and could be a team of three).

Choose a topic, tell Ken a day (we can have up to three discussions on a given day but should aim for two most days) and assign readings (or videos or other activities) for the other students to do before the session. Then you will lead the discussion on the topic.
