Reading & Thinking Notes
- Initial Post due: 11:59 pm, Tuesdays before assigned class period
- 15% of course grade (drop lowest grade)
Let’s face it, just reading course material is not enough to actually learn it. You need to engage with the material in meaningful ways. The purpose of this assignment is to get you engaging with the material in a way that helps YOU learn it. I can’t promise we will talk about every single reading in class; however, I can guarantee you will engage all the materials you read by taking these notes.
Initial Post Submission Guidelines
Submit your reading notes in Scalar; you will make them a "path" off of your personal introduction page.
Tag each entry back to this "Reading, Thinking, & Reflecting Posts" page.
You will be responsible for tagging your entries to other pages as you see connections across the course (after week two I expect to see at least one content tag per week).
You will submit one entry per week you have readings (10 weeks/lowest one dropped): 9/2, 9/9, 9/16, 9/23, 9/30, 10/7, 10/14, 10/21, 10/28, 11/4, 11/11, & 11/18.
