Ex3: Of Accuracy and Knowledge in the Mechanical Era
Exercise 3 is a three-page essay that demonstrates your ability
to apply, analyze, and evaluate the ideas you have encountered in the
readings so far, with a special focus on any reading of your choice from
Unit 3 (print culture).
Submit your exercise by uploading it to Turnitin.com.
Review the feedback and suggestions I gave you on earlier assignments. Feel free to quote from or build on anything you've written in class; cite those earlier papers when appropriate, but Ex 3 is not designed as a revision of any earlier work.
As was the case with the other exercises, I am looking for your ability to come up with a clear thesis statement, organize your argument around a blueprint, and how to integrate brief quotations from your sources.
Write for a reader who already knows the readings well, and has a copy in reach. Quote brief passages, or consider simply referring in passing to "Havelock's treatment of Plato (24)" rather than attempting to repeat Havelock's ideas in detail.
