I will assign a small amount of reading for each class. I expect you to read the section three or four times and try to puzzle out what it means. We will then discuss your conclusions in class before I decide on the extent of the next reading assignment. In general, the further we get in the book, the better everyone's grades will be. I'll grade the insights based on their originality, depth and clarity.
Originality means that no one else has previously submitted a similar insight.
Notice that it's good to post your insight early because then no one else can use the same idea. Hard ideas are more valuable than easy ideas. Clarity is a measure of how well your paper is written. You must use standard, formal English, with correct punctuation and spelling. Treat this as if it is a paper and not as if it is an email to a friend.
