As stated in the syllabus, beginning with week three specific students will be tasked with bringing to class a question to help launch discussion of that week's readings (not of the cases). Those assigned for a given week should coordinate to avoid duplication. Particularly valuable are questions that relate the readings to issues involving the broader policy process that you find interesting and believe will generate reaction. Other members of the seminar will then respond based on what they have gleaned from the readings.

Students may swap assignments, with two caveats. First, no student may do two "national security" or "trade and economic" weeks. Second, the instructor must be notified. Changes will be posted in this document on the professor's home page.
