The reading responses are due the day before each class in
Brightspace. You choose at least two readings from the reading list
of the session. The readings should be synthesized. To get the report
recognized as handed in, I expect a critical examination of the
reading(s) – consider the following: identify main argument(s), strengths
and limitations, and try to relate the reading – in any way – to a personal
experience. Late reports are not accepted. I am looking for reflective
engagement with the readings.
I will attach the reading for each week. Their are five 1-2 page double spaced reports that need to be completed based on the instructions above. Please make sure to name the readings and use citations on your work if needed.
