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:

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.) <\pre>

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 may adopt the general theory of LP as a guide. 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.
