(Here are the guide questions for the optional short reaction paper; followed by the program of the Friday conference. -Aaron M.)
1. It is recommended that students attend a whole panel (consult the program for the best time slot to one's schedule). Although you could focus on one or two paper presentation, it is best to attend the whole panel for the inputs of the co-presenters and the open forum.
2. Summarize the paper(s) in the panel. What are the key ideas and the arguments that the paper(s) propose? Pay special attention to the elements of historical inquiry (i.e., time period, perspective, etc.).
3. Discuss the issue(s) that you found particularly interesting. You may relate them to your prior knowledge of Philippine history. You may also draw on the knowledge you gained from your other social science courses.
Remember that your reaction paper will be graded by how well you come up with a critique (i.e., your "reaction"). A judicious and thoughtfully written paper will be given a high grade, in contrast to one that is made up of shallow critique and motherhood statements.
The OPTIONAL reaction paper is comprised of about 1,000-2,500 words, has to comply with the conventions of essay writing--meaning, it must be assigned a title, bibliography should be provided, and it should follow the style guide agreed in class. Do not forget to write your name, section, and class hour.
Use a letter sized paper (8.5" X 11"), Times New Roman, 12 font size, double spacing, 1" margins at all sides. Provide a word count at the end of the main text.
Deadline of submission is November 29 (Tuesday) at class. Students can also submit their papers at the History Department on or before 5PM.
