The papers should also include your personal reaction to the reading, whether you agree/disagree with the author and why, how it has changed your thinking or expanded it, how is the work related to present-day problems, how is it related to your life, experiences and/or indicate whether the work is accurate, complete, organized, etc.”

agree/disagree with the author and why, how it has changed your thinking or expanded it, how is the work

related to present-day problems, how is it related to your life, experiences and/or indicate whether the work

is accurate, complete, organiz
