FAQThis is a featured page

Can I turn in my reading log late? Can I email it?

No, a hard copy needs to be turned in during class every Monday.

How long should my reading log be?

No more than 2 pages single-spaced, no less than one single-spaced.

Can other research and readings be added to the reading log?

Yes, but it cannot be in substitution for your required reading for that week.

What do I do if I miss a class?

For each class missed, students will read an extra hundred pages and take notes on that reading, this assignment will be due one full week after the day you missed.

How much of our information do we need to put in the final video?

As much as you can but the main goal is to get an overview of your project into the presentation. You don't want just the first page of your wiki, but rather the main gist and key points.

Can I Have Feedback on My Book Review? (Yes)

  • One thing I really liked seeing was a brief commentary on a quote that explained either the relevance of the quote to your project, or the "ah ha" moment and why it was spurred.
  • Be sure to use quotations in everything that is a direct quote, don't leave it up to remembering that it is a quote later.
  • Add pages numbers to whatever you can, even if it isn't a direct quote, this will make it easier for you to retrieve later.
  • Please include your full name and the name of your group on the paper.
  • Please include at least the Author and book Title above the notes section, you can include the chapter but don't need to.
  • In terms of length, 2 full pages single-spaced is as long as it needs to be, anything under 1 full page (single spaced) is too short. You can do more, but you don't need to print it out or turn it in.
  • Your points need to be more than a phrase, show that you're making connections to the overall topics and issues related to the class and your project. Remember you need to be able to go back to these notes in 7 weeks and understand what you meant by each line, not that you just thought it was interesting, didn't understand it, or didn't agree with it.
  • Please do not simply provide a summary or highlight the main points of the reading. Provide some interaction with or critique the material so that we can see that you are grappling with the issues and attempting to integrate them with your project and ministry context.

Suggestions:
Keep this all in one document so you can search and find easily.

Some people are categorizing their readings with little tags "UNI" could mean universalism, etc. Either that or they are creating notes underneath subheadings that relate to particular topics (if you do it this way make sure to cite well).
