Familiarize yourself with the syllabus, especially the attendance policy and the late-submission policy.

For every assigned reading, bring to class a half-page (printed) response, including

• at least one direct quotation from the reading (with the page number) that you found insightful, puzzling, or otherwise noteworthy
  
• a brief response (100-200 words) demonstrating your ability to relate the quotation to the main point
• an idea -- relating directly to a specific passage in the text -- that you would be prepared to talk about if called on in class
