small discussion board posts should be typewritten papers that contain quotes from the reading you found most interesting along with 5 to 8 sentences of commentary about why that quote interested you. The format is thus to type in 1 sentence of the quote and indicate the page number, followed by 5 to 8 sentences discussing it. Please do NOT try to summarize the reading - select quotes and respond/comment. The quotes should be spread across the chapter and not all be from the first part of it. Some of the discussion will be about the criminological issues raised by the author, while others will be about the writing style itself. Please pay attention to the directions for each specific assignment. The idea of this paper is to ensure students have done the reading and some level of reflection on it as preparation for class.
