For each paper, you are provided with a list of questions. The first question specifies which parts of the paper you are expected to read, and asks for a general
summary. I imagine that an adequate summary will take approximately one half to one full typed, single-spaced page of text1 . In addition to summarizing the reading in
your own words, you should answer each of the other questions – depending on the question, a complete answer may take a sentence or a full paragraph. If you feel
unsure about whether you understand a question or whether your answers are complete, you should feel free to talk to me about it.
