' z: c: _5 k8 `- h7 b, Q! H4 i6 E    In order to "force" people to discuss, we shall take a vote on each of the papers.  In other words, everyone will be asked to give a brief evaluation on a paper and then, a brief explanation.  For that, one can write a short (one or two pages) review before the discussion; this review can be counted as a homework essay if handed in.

    Again, and again, one's position (overall opinion on the work) will not be counted toward course grade.  You may think the work is greatest in a century, or you may think the work is a total waste; the position you take will not added points to or subtract points from you essay grades.  So, be free to express yourself.  Think about this as a stock investment class exercise: you are given token money to pay stocks.  In the end, you don't loss or gain any money from the class exercise.  The exercise is only to sensitize you to the market.  Therefore, get involved in the exercise, have opinions.  Have an opinion, right or wrong, is far better than have no opinion.
