As this is an advanced class on reading, the aims of the course will revolve    

around aiding students in more quickly and completely understanding             

academic texts written in English.

In this class, we will work with both chapters from academic textbooks and      

articles from academic journals. We will look at how to make use of all         

aspects of the text in order to aid understanding. Other textual concerns       

that may have an impact on understanding that will be touched on are            

conceptual development, critical reading, vocabulary, and style.                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

                                                                                

Grades will be based on class participation, scores of in-class tests and       

exams, and the quality and timeliness of homework assignments.
