The three essays you choose are very important in order for you to complete your reflection assignment this week. In addition to choosing the three essays, please look through The Norton Reader in its entirety. This reader is your main text for the course. Flip through it and become familiar with the contents. Your review will be important for you to complete your first discussion board posting. It is a good idea to flip through your readings for any course you take. Just as getting to know and forming a relationship with your instructor and fellow students, it is helpful to establish a relationship with and get to know your textbook and readings.
Your readings in the UMass Global catalog and the AAC&U attached document will directly relate to your discussion board questions for this week. Please review them carefully, and keep them on hand when you work on your postings.
You will continue to address elements of all of these readings throughout the course.
