Discuss 6 important women that might appear at various points in the survey (persons profiled may be “great,” or typical but obscure, but together they should provide a representative sample of various significant types of American women, over time).

What are consequences and/or impact of the results in the “real world”? Do the authors overstate this importance?

Quantifying naturalistic social gaze in fragile X syndrome using a novel eye-tracking paradigm (2015) by Scott Hall et al. in American Journal of Medical Genetics. DOI: 10.1002/ajmg.b.32331

Suggestions for identifying something to critique:

1. Evaluate the experimental methods. For example, did the authors really test what they said they intended to test? Are there flaws in the experimental design? Did they include the appropriate control groups? Did they have the proper controls for their experimental conditions? Make sure you elaborate on these comments and describe the problem and how it impacts their results and how they can be interpreted. Provide suggestions for a better approach and say why. State what new information you think they would have found if they had used a different approach.

2. Do the conclusions follow from the results or are there other interpretations that the authors did not consider? Be specific and suggest an experiment (or two) that could properly test that alternative explanation.

3. Discuss the limitations of the study or methods. Especially focus on any limitation that they did not mention themselves (comments about sample size need to be made with reference to the field – if authors are tackling a rare disorder, larger sample sizes may simply be unfeasible). In addition, sample size comments also need to be justified in terms of how it impacts the study – do they actually need a larger sample size to answer their research question? All limitations raised need to be discussed with reference to the research question and the statistics/method used.

4. What are consequences and/or impact of the results in the “real world”? Do the authors overstate this importance? Or do they miss important impact they should have written/about? Make sure you can explain how the data/results of the study directly lead to impact in the world or in what way the authors have overstated the studies importance and state what else would need to be done to have real impact.

Identify one social or cultural narrative that is invoked significantly in at least 1 of these 2 novels. Research its history and interpretation in recent scholarly writing. Explain its relation to the main story in both novels—or, if it is absent or nearly absent from 1 novel, then explain this gap in terms of its social and historical causes, its narrative significance, or both.

Research essay on The Great Gatsby & Black Thunder (10–12pp. w/full citations)

Both The Great Gatsby (1925) and Black Thunder (1935) tell stories set in the United States at different times in its history. Each novel’s main characters move in a world full of references and allusions to larger stories about history, society, and humanity—both in the United States and, on occasion, around the world. The Great Gatsby is set in 1922, close to the time when it was written, but alludes generally to various narratives about the history of modern America. Black Thunder, as a historical novel, reflects both on narratives current at the time of writing (the 1930s, during the Great Depression) and also on those circulating in various communities when the action occurs (the year 1800, just before Thomas Jefferson was elected President).
