Active involvement is the key to learning.
For this class, involvement can be demonstrated by active participation in the class, as evidenced by attendance, preparation for each class, participation in discussions, demonstrated leadership through class contributions and suggestions, and acting collaboratively to help create a productive and satisfying learning community. Top of Page Reflective Readings Reading is an important part of this course. For each class, you should plan to spend some time reading one or two chapters from the books on the reading and reserve lists, reading assigned articles and those you discover yourself, and exploring relevant web sites. I will ask you to share your reflections on these readings and explorations through four or five short reading reflection papers due in approximately two week intervals during the class. Your readings will help you be able to contribute thoughtfully to class discussions.
