CMNS 349 Reading commentaries:
please do not write a whole book, just Dembicki, ‘Afterword: So Are We Screwed’ P233 and ‘How to Not Screw Up the Climate: A Guide for Daily Living.’ P239
Each student is required to submit a brief commentary (max 350 words) on a selection from Are We Screwed?
Commentaries should not summarize the reading, but rather critically analyze the material from the perspective of environmental communication.
Given this marking structure, my grading criteria for these commentaries will be high: an exceptionally well-crafted commentary which constructs an original and compelling argument will The focus in this exercise is quality, not quantity. Students should ensure that they use their 350 words as effectively as possible to construct an engaging, clear, concise and well-written commentary.
