The lectures for this class will assume that students have read the chapter before class. In order to reinforce that and in order to make the lectures more effective in deepening student understanding of the material, we have instituted a "reading questions" requirement.
For each lecture with an assigned reading (see the schedule of topics and assignments), respond to the following prompt on Canvas:
What in the reading was most confusing? If you can, articulate a question about it. If nothing was confusing, what further questions does this reading raise for you?
There are 16 lectures with associated reading assignments, so each student should submit 16 reading questions. These will collectively count for 5% of your course grade.
You are welcome to also answer questions from your peers, in addition to posting your own question.
Submit RQ to the appropriate Canvas Discussion area by 6:00am the day of class
Note: We're asking you to post the reading questions because we think it will be of interest for you to see each others' questions. However, we do not expect you to go through the other reading questions before posting your own. Repeats/highly similar questions are expected and welcomed (but questions should arise from reading --- just paraphrasing something doesn't count ;-).
