To make it a precis, in 500-700 words assess the content (brief summary including thesis, topics, main lines of argument for all of the readings), credibility for each of the authors (do not cut and paste a full bio on any of these scholars, but instead in one or two sentences tell me why that author is credible for that particular topic), the methodologies each used (get familiar with the list on announcements), and in the end tell me in a sentence or two why these readings were or were not applicable to a course on psychological anthropology.
