The goal of the discussions is to have you look at the professional literature and also at your fellow student’s work.
Primary Source
The requirement that everyone in a group read the “Primary Source” (at least using AccessScience as the starting point) is to ensure that there is a common ground.
Secondary Source
The secondary source may be any of those that you’re led to from the library’s reference page. I would hope that it will in some way amplify or contradict or otherwise supplement what you have read in the primary source, but we won’t enforce that strictly, at least not initially till we see how the discussions develop in the first few weeks. I’d certainly encourage you to link the two in what you write.
