GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING WEEKLY READING SUMMARIES

(The first weekly reading summary is due via Canvas Upload by 11:59pm EST on MONDAY, SEP 9 for the Gottschalk and Michalowski readings.)

FOR EACH READING:

Part 1:

In your own words, provide an executive summary of the assigned reading. You might do this by succinctly covering the main points, contributions, or overall relevance of the reading(s). (300-500 words per reading.)

Note: Direct quotes/excerpts of the article are appropriate if they are brief. The main priority is to summarize the article using your own original perspective and reception.

Part 2:

2a: In 1-2 sentences, provide one substantive compliment, reflection, or brief analysis of the assigned reading(s).

2b: In 1-2 sentences, provide one substantive critique, area of improvement, or general assessment of the reading.

Note: Stating “it was too long” or “I just hated it in general” does not qualify.

Part 3:

Based on your reception of the reading(s), list two substantive questions for the instructor to consider. If there is more than one reading assigned, provide at least one question per reading. You may submit these questions in bullet-point format.
