What are reading reflections?

Reading reflections are a replacement for the reading quizzes that would usually take place in IAT-339. They are to be completed either while doing the reading or immediately after. An overview:

• Should take between 15-60 minutes to complete, depending on how quickly you read.
• You will be asked to highlight portions of the text either in the PDF or on a print-out and submit it (digitally).
• There will be some questions that require reflection on your highlights.
• They will be due before the following lecture.

How reflections work

• You only need to complete two reflections over the term.
• There are seven available.
• You may complete up to three reflections and the lowest grade will be dropped.

Instructions

While reading or after reading "What a Year of Learning and Teaching Accessibility Taught Me" (Soueidan, 2019) please highlight sentences in the text that evoke a strong response from you (positive, negative, or otherwise).

Once done highlighting, please:

1. Select two highlights that evoked a strong response from you.
2. Explain what was your response and why each highlight evoked a strong response.

Submission

Your responses can be submitted anytime before the lecture on May 17 to the reading reflection on Canvas.

Grading

This reading reflection is worth 5% (5 points) of your final grade.

• 0.5 points for submitting your reading with highlights as requested.
• 1 point for clearly citing which two highlighted portions of the text you are referring to using a standard citation format and indicating a page or paragraph number (0.5 points per portion cited).
• 3.5 points for an on-topic explanation of what was your response and why each highlight evoked a strong response (1.75 points per explanation).
