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.

Dr. Jerz, there's no slot for this paper on Turnitin.com yet.

Okay, it should be open now.
