Response Paper 1

Response Paper 1: Describe your background and interests in 500 words.

your background (major, academic class, raised where),
elements of background that may be relevant for this course (how much time outside US --where?; past or current courses, or work experience that might be relevant);
your learning objectives: what do you want to be able to do in mid-December, relevant to the course subject matter, that you can't do now?
Which country (Canada, China, Mexico) and its trade relations with the US interests you for your two papers in the course -- perhaps a sentence or two why.
Special circumstances, if any, that will affect your academic work this quarter (I hope there aren't any, but we might as well get them out in the open now!)
