NOTE
(a) This page is divided into different sections. See the class announcements page on what readings you must complete from the sections below.
(b) You must also study any images that may be present in a reading, AS WELL AS on this page. (If there are captions then summarize them in your notes.)
(c) Check if a reading has subheadings; if they are present use them as a guide to organize your notes.
(d) With rare exception, you will not be asked to concentrate on such factual details as dates and names of places. Instead, what you should concentrate on is the "what," the "why," and the "therefore" (implications / consequences).
(e) In case of definitions, obviously concentrate on the main elements of the definition. If there are images in the definition, then you must study those too.
(f) Important: Any reading assignment written by the instructor should be considered an extension of class lectures and therefore must take precedence over other assigned materials.<-- Read this sentence again.
