You are responsible for all the readings, even if the material is not covered explicitly in class. Please read over the assigned material prior to class and be prepared to discuss and ask questions about the covered topics. You should also review the material after class as not every topic will be covered during class time. Many passages in the text may need to be read several times to gain clarity. Taking notes on the material you are reading and reflecting on both the reading and these notes will help you to understand better the issues, concepts and techniques that are being presented.
