Anyone can skim through a book and highlight key words; only a careful reader completes a text with a firm grasp of its primary argument(s), significance, and applications. Each week, as you complete your readings, you should keep informal notes on each text in a reading log. Identify the text’s title, author, and its major arguments; and list and briefly define its key terms. Discuss what these texts mean to you and how they contribute to your understanding of textual form. You are free to experiment with formats until you find one that works best for you—but, as a guideline, each week’s entry should be roughly two pages in length. I recommend that you type your log entries in a word processing program to ensure that they are of adequate length, then cut and paste them into the body of an email message. If you are going to use AI don’t bother. I don’t want to read AI slop. Please email me each week’s log entry by noon on Monday.
