1. Prepare yourself to read the selection. 2. Read the selection. 3. Reread the selection. 4. Annotate the text with marginal notes. 5. Analyze the text with questions
This will be very helpful for me when reading a new selection. Having steps and actually incorporating them into reading will be very beneficial for me in this course.

Active reading requires, first of all, that you commit time and effort.
This one is spot on. If im not committed with my time and actual effort, I do not put as much work into it. This will be important for me to overcome through this course.

After all, we all know how to read. But do we know how to read actively?
Sometimes it can be so hard for me to read actively because im distracted or just not picking up what i just read. Especially when im reading something in regards to school. I can read my own personal books fine but I am very interested to learn how to read more actively.

All assignments for this course must be written and submitted directly in Google Docs. You will submit one document with a new tab for each assignment.
Google docs is so much easier for me to use. I just started using it more this year and I think its helpful for not only me but the professors. It is easier for me to use it through canvas as well!

All course readings will be available on Canvas. There is no required textbook
This is so helpful. Having the readings/textbook online works so much easier for me personally because I can do my work and have the readings pulled up right next to it on my laptop!

If you do not have a laptop and you would like to use one during class, you can check one out for free from Huskertech. Seven-day and semester-long rentals are available
I did not know that this was an option! I think that is a really helpful option just in case if something were to happen. Im glad this is in the syllabus because i would never have known this prior to reading this.

Late work may be accepted with a requestfor extension which was submitted up to 48hours before the due date.To request an extension, send me an email at fjohn3@unl.huskers.edu.Include EXTENSION REQUEST in your subject.If you ask before the due date I will almost certainly say yes, so just ask! If the due date has passed, the answer will be no.
I really like that there is a flexible extension option. I think this is fair and gives students the option to take accountability when an assignment is late or will be late.
