This quarter, I asked the students to compose blog posts highlighting what they felt to be the most important elements from their Reading Response 1 and 2 assignments.
As part of Reading Response 2, I asked students to pair an article I had selected with something from their own discipline or area of interest that addressed the broad scope and meaning of sustainability in this discipline. Below is a list of sources that students found themselves to complement the articles I assigned.
