Reading Assignments

Dear LS104AC,

A quick note about reading assignments for this semester's class: 

Your performance will be assessed on your ability to assimilate information, synthesize it, and think critically about arguments. Professor Morrill sometimes assigns difficult material to read, and you may be surprised at how much effort is required to understand it all. Never despair, as you have plenty of resources available to help, including discussion section. However, for this to work, it requires that you read the assigned materials in a timely and thoughtful fashion. If you are unable to complete a reading for justifiable reasons, please notify me in advance of section to discuss a suitable alternative. 

Typically, we will devote section to discussing the readings that were covered in lecture during the previous week. The order should thus go as follows: read the assigned material in advance of lecture, attend lecture, review notes from lecture, and discuss outstanding points in section the following week.
