You must prepare a "notecard" for each major reading assignment (this does not include those items on the reading list that are preceeded by a *). Each notecard must include:

1. Your name.
2. Title, author, and source of the reading.
3. Short summary of the article/main points.
4. Observations/reactions: These points should not be a factual summary of the article's contents, but reflect on the following:
   • opinions on any of the ideas in the reading
   • ideas in the reading that bring to mind connections to other things you've read or thought about
   • statements or ideas that are interesting or present a new slant on a topic
   • statements or ideas that strike you as controversial and your reaction to the author's view (pro or con)
   • thoughts about how suggestions or approaches in the reading could be useful to you in your future professional life
   • holes in the discussion or issues that you feel should have been raised about a topic which were not addressed
   • questions you may have
   • etc.

Each notecard should be approximately one double-spaced typewritten page, or equivalent (250 words).

Submit each notecard by email to the TA ( alfadog@cs.wpi.edu ), in ASCII text format.
