De Anza College Science Environment and Society Discussion Paper Response Papers: Each student in the class will write ten typed, double spaced, response papers, 4-5 pages each, throughout the quarter, focusing on the readings from the course but also incorporating ideas from lecture. Structure your response papers like this:
Discuss the thesis, arguments, or main points and the evidence the author(s) provide for each reading from the course reader assigned for that week.
Make connections: show the relationships between the readings, and/or readings from other weeks, and/or the textbook, and/or class presentations, and/or lecture, and/or other classes you’ve taken.
Evaluate the content of the readings (not the style). What, if anything, did you learn? Most of all, how well did the author(s) support their argument?
