Honors Interdisciplinary Seminar (IDS 175) TRUTH Study Questions (Szydlik section)

"I AM THAT I AM"

Study Questions will be prepared for all of the assigned texts to guide you as you work through what are likely to be unfamiliar, and surely to be challenging, readings. You should use the questions as guides in your review of the material ahead of class. We will use the study questions to guide our in-class discussion, so it is important that you take them seriously.

Since the study questions will help to guide our exploration of the issues each text raises, your responses to the study questions MUST be written out before class.  These responses will be collected and reviewed.  You should always have TWO copies of your study question responses:  one to hand in at the start of the appropriate class period and one to use during that class period.  (I recommend either making a photocopy or preparing your study questions electronically and printing two copies.)  Your responses to the study questions should be carefully thought out, but they need not be perfect.  I will not correct grammar/mechanics, nor will I make an issue of the particular format.  However,  you must write clearly and refer to the texts. Write in complete sentences with page references, and respond effectively to the questions.  

I do not expect that all of your responses will be fully formed, nor that they necessarily reflect a complete understanding of the readings.  Nevertheless, I do expect you to respond thoughtfully and with care.
