Section I: Family Forms

Directions: The following schedule contains discussion topics for each day of class. After each class date you will find the topic and a link to the article we will be discussing that day. In some cases, there is more than one article for the class discussion. Obtain copies of all articles and have them read before corresponding class discussions. Make sure to critically evaluate the methods, theory, arguments, and conclusions as you prepare for class. (Where links are unavailable, reference entries are listed instead, and I will provide you with copies of those articles prior to that class day.)
