Be prepared to discuss these questions in class on Thursday, October 14, 2010.
If you missed the seminar, submit well-thought out written responses to two questions (100%; one question=80%).
If you were in class and did not respond twice, use the back of your remaining half-sheets ("buns") to respond to the questions. If you respond to a question discussed in class, your response must add to the conversation we had. (+10 pts. each.)
