<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3>One of the problems of reading groups is that sometimes they become too ambitious in their goals and when real world demands set in the groups begin to dwindle before disappearing; therefore, I also propose a definite ending date for our group that can be reconstituted in the future as members are motivated.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Personally, I’d like to spend a protracted amount of time over the summer reading Marx’s Capital since to attempt to cover the behemoth of a text in one reading would be insane.</FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3>I will recommend some of the writing from early Marx and my suggestion for meeting times will be biweekly to ensure that the readings can be digested within the scope of our competing interesting in seminar preparation, grading, and personal affairs.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I also think ending in week eight of the quarter will be helpful so that we can turn our attention to due dates for our students and our own deadlines for the end of the quarter.</FONT></P>
