Readings and Reading Responses:
Each week, I ask that you come prepared by having read the assigned reading before the section. As part of your participation grade (15%), I ask that you write a reading response for each section each week. These responses should consist of a minimum of three bullet points but at least one bullet point per reading (3-5 sentences per bullet point not including quotes). For example, for weeks with only one assigned reading, I ask that you prepare three bullet points for said reading.
How you can approach the reading responses:
– You can highlight important points of the readings.
– You can share whether you agree or disagree with the author’s arguments, and why.
– You can pose questions.
– You can draw out an author’s visual description and comment on whether you found them successful or not, and why.
