The document instructs students to write a two-page paper reflecting on assigned readings for the week. It asks them to identify the most important concept, method, term, or thing worth understanding from half a page. For the other half page, they must explain why they felt it was important, how they will use it, and how it's important for project planning. Students are then asked to post their paper as an initial post in the discussion forum and reply to at least two of their classmates' posts with 200-word minimum responses.
