2.8 Book reports

You will need to do two book reports this semester. The books must be non-fiction, non-textbook, non-manual, computer related books. If you have a question about a specific book, PLEASE ASK. The book reports are required, must be done with a word processor, and be proof read. This can be done by the writing lab.

The reports should be your thoughts on the subjects covered in the book, NOT a summary of the books content.

The Learning Center II is located the second floor of West Campus Santa Rita building in room A215 (Hours: M-Th 8:00-6:00, F8:00-2:00 Phone: 206-6819). Please attach the marked up version of your document to the back of your final version. The Learning Center II will, in addition to marking up your draft document, date and sign the first page and initial all of the other pages.

The length of the reports is expected to be between 3 and 6 pages each single spaced, 12 point type (Not counting cover sheets). If you run out of things to write about, please stop. It is the content that is important, not the length.

The cover sheet needs to include:  

Each book report counts as 10% of your grade. Failure to turn the book reports on time will result in the loss of 5% of your class grade per day it is late. Please see the reading list for possible books to read.

Plagiarism is not acceptable. If it happens you will get full negative credit for the report or lab.
