Last week our readings were all on the web. This week they were in our print textbook. What observations can you make about your experience of the print reading and the online reading?

Comment specifically on two or three examples from our reading. Include at least one quotation to support each example.

If it wouldn't be appropriate to say in our onsite classroom, it wouldn't be appropriate to say here. Also, remember the principle of "radical respect" for differing points of view. The persona you are creating here is an academic persona...

just starting out
