You will be expected to familiarize yourself with all assigned chapters and articles and to summarize the readings and add your own perspective and/or raise questions related to each topic. I will look for a demonstration of your understanding of the core ideas through your comments and questions in the essays.
Along the way, try to relate what you are reading to your own experiences of knowing couples and families in your life or your work. My hope is that you will look ahead to how you can imagine the information being useful for you. The essay can be in the form of a discussion that looks at the key concepts and other practice ideas and includes your take on each of them. Include a comment about anything that surprises you, anything that you like or disagree with or simply have an opinion about. As you share your thoughts be sure to connect them to points being made in the book and articles. Include quotations from the text to illustrate your thinking. Be sure to utilize the information in the journal articles to add breadth to your essays.
