About Readings

Because of the new format of this class, I am creating quite a few new materials.

  • These materials are being uploaded to bSpace, into a folder titled "New Materials"
  • Please note that Chrome browser does not always succeed in downloading pdf files from bSpace. Try another browser.
  • Copyright material should, in theory, be on the pdf. But since I am rushing this material, sometimes it is in a description box on bSpace.
  • I have OCRed much of the material which means there will be odd spelling errors and such. Please read proactively.
  • Vertical red lines indicate what portion is assigned. I have often left more text in place. You are welcome to read it.
  • I also add "sticky notes" that gloss terms, give context or whatever.
  • (For test review and such): On the schedule for the day the assignment is due, there might be comments on what portion of this text should be your focus, or what reading approach I would like.
  • I am developing a "dictionary" as I go along, giving the basic details of a text or whatever presented. This should be helpful for test review. It is necessary because we jump around in this class.
