课程概论、方法与任务
  本次研究生讨论课将是一次全新的尝试,它将会使学生与教师在互动过程中,共同建构问题意识,分享工具、参考资料以及新的研究方式。讨论课接受学生16名。注册将在网上完成,并在讨论课的第二周完成确认。                   
    讨论课将会包括阅读、讨论、试用工具以及历史资料的指导等几个方面。它十分需要集体的工作,这将决定本次讨论课的成败。除了定期登陆因特网以及出色的英文阅读能力外,讨论课不要求学生做任何前期准备。                   
    课程的评估将取决于三个因素:网络工作(不断更新博客)、参加辩论以及对阅读资料的讨论的次数。在讨论课开始之初,我会建立一个严格的表格。(以记录每个学生的情况)。总之,这次讨论课是为那些想认真学习以及全心投入工作的人所准备的。
