Assignment for Friday, Sept. 5
Read and annotate ch. 2 of The Craft of Research, "Connecting with Your Reader" (handout). In class, you will answer the questions on pp. 26-27, but you will find them helpful for thinking about the following writing assignment: In one page or so, describe the ideal reader for your research paper, describe your role as a researcher (based on pp. 18-20), and describe the reader's role in developing your research (based on pp. 20-24). Even if you send the homework as an attachment, please email it to mrmontasmph@gmail.com, not my MPH email or my other Gmail address.
