Your first synthetic-critical paper is due by Saturday, February 18th.  This is not intended to be a "heavy" research assignment, but rather a summary and synthesis of the  readings you've completed to date.  For your convenience, here's the description of this assignment from the course syllabus:
 
−
 
 
−
...Two synthetic-critical (SC) papers. Each paper draws together five weeks’ worth of readings, by
 
−
comparing, contrasting, and critiquing them, in about five pages. These are intended to be relatively short
 
−
assignments; no additional research is required beyond the assigned readings. However you should cite the
 
−
readings as you discuss them, using any standard for scholarly references. Each paper is due by Saturday in
 
−
the week it was assigned, by email attachment sent to the instructor with the following subject line:
 
−
“SC paper”. (Note: all page counts refer to double spaced, 12 pt, 1” margin pages.)...
 
  
−
Rather than simply summarize the readings one by one, the idea is to synthesize them, while also  critiquing them (indicating problems, limitations).  You can do this in any way you please. For instance, you might identify a list of five (or more, or fewer) themes which recur in all (most) of the readings; discussing these themes one by one (critically reviewing each of the readings for each) will automatically cause you to synthesize.  You should reference the assigned readings, as well as your selected readings.  If you've been doing the readings and taking notes, the assignment should not be onerous.

* Class discussions, centered on your selected readings (from last week) about particular genres, focusing on the questions:
 
−
 
−
- what are the effects (psychic – social – cosmic) of chanted devotions in religious contexts?
 
−
- how are those effects produced?
 
−
- how did/does this particular genre evolve (history, dynamics)? 
 
−
- what are the emotional consequence of this musical performance?
 
−
- to what extent are "altered states of consciousness" induced, and how?

I'm not going to say that I'm against the extention, as long as we have the ability to hand it in before the due date.  I'm going away for Reading Week, and had hoped to finish everything before I left... Three cheers for professors who entertain the ideas and suggestions of the student!!!

I think the extension would be helpful for a lot of people, so I'm putting my vote here.  Especially since this is probably a new kind of assignment for most people.  What about handing in a copy by the original date, getting suggestions, then revising it for the 25th?  Just a suggestion, 'cause we all know that professors don't actually do any work. ; )  --[[User:Meghanbowen|Meghanbowen]] 21:47, 7 February 2006 (MST)
