What is a reading report?
       A reading report serves two purposes. On one hand, it is a way to help you digest what we are discussing in class and what you are reading in the textbook. On the other hand, I have five fingers. On a more serious note, a reading report also serves to give me an idea about what topics you are having a hard time understanding and that we need to revisit in class.

How is a reading report turned in?
       Reading reports are (normally) to be submitted to me by email before you go to bed on Wednesday night. (And I do highly recommend sleep!) If you want a precise deadline, let's say 3:14:15am Thursday morning.

How do I write a reading report?
       A reading report consists of two parts, a section summary and some questions. The sections you need to summarize will be posted on the homework webpage. I am looking for you to write two or three paragraphs about the major ideas (as you see them) and their importance. After the summary, you should submit one or more questions about the material in the sections you have just summarized. These questions can be wide-ranging, perhaps questions about the material itself, about generalizations of the material, about questions unanswered from class; basically anything combinatorics related.

Do I have to turn in every reading report?
       In order to earn the full participation credit associated to reading reports, you must turn in all except for possibly one reading report.
