Students will be assigned to 3 groups. The groups will be in charge of selecting an article for class discussion and leading the discussion of that article. All groups should select a paper for article discussion days -- we will discuss 3 articles on discussion days.

Groups should read the articles for the other groups in addition to their own.

Articles selected for discussion should be submitted by the Monday prior to the discussion day. The selected articles will be posted to the course website.
