After Mid-term: Revolution & Constitution

I had an epiphany Wednesday after class, and I'm embarrassed to say that this had not occurred to me before, so I hope to amend matters quickly in the time remaining.

After my "Come-on-folks-do-more-detailed-research" speech last week, I could perhaps have seen the coming solution. But E.G. suggested that, since there are only seven people in the class, perhaps we could take a "field trip" to the library and walk through the stages of researching a topic. I really felt silly that I had not thought of this myself earlier.

Since one of the basic goals of the course is for you all to evidence some basic mastery of scholarly research method, the sink-or-swim approach I have been taking is probably not the best. Anticipate that we will be following through on E.G.'s suggestion in the remaining class sessions.
