Sargent Reading Group

Wednesdays 6.10 p.m. by Zoom
Submit your paper before Friday 2 pm (sign in required).

  • Reading Group Rules

    • To attend the reading group you must submit a paper. There is no representation without taxation.
    • Regular attendance is the norm.
    • Every week each student submits a paper of their choice (here). Please submit a paper that you think is good. Sargent reserves the right to veto a paper that he thinks is not suitable -- after such a veto, you will be asked to submit an alternative.
    • From the submitted papers, Sargent chooses 0-3 to be given as 20-minute presentations (by those who submitted them). 20 minute presenters should prepare slides.
    • 20 minute presenters will be known by noon on Friday so that they have time to prepare.
    • Students whose submissions are not chosen for 20 minute presentations are exposed to being called upon for a 5 minute presentation (no slides) during the reading group meeting.
    • All participants are expected to be in command of the papers. In the past, this has usually been the case. It is only fair to tell you that students who have underperformed have been told so bluntly by Sargent.
