Memo #3 Instructions
MUST USE THE READINGS PROVIDED BY ME
1. The minimum length of the memo is 2 pages, double-spaced with 1” margins and no more than 12-point font size. The header (your name, date, class name) does not count in towards the page length.
2. You must staple your pages together. If you don’t staple your paper, I will only read the first page of your memo.
3. Memos should not re-summarize the readings. You will not receive full credit for the assignment if all you do is summarize the readings. I want to see evidence that you have thought analytically about the readings in some depth and considered their implications.
4. Provide your own critical analysis of the readings that is well supported with evidence. You must write about your own evalaution of Lijphart’s findings and conclusions.
•Does the author support all of his or her arguments and assumptions?
•What are the biases that exist in the readings?
•What are some of the contradictions or ambiguities in the readings?
•How do these readings connect with each other and readings in the course? Do this week’s readings strengthen or weaken the arguments of previous readings? How do these readings advance your understanding of larger themes in the course?
5. Bring a paper copy to class with you. I will not accept late memos or e-copies
