Class requirements

I feel it's important to outline what is expected from people who want to be in this class. I really want to step this up to something serious. There are two things I expect from everyone who wants to really participate:
1. Read the assigned reading. You've got all week (technically two as you can read it before or after class) to read the assigned reading for a given week. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes on average each time.
2. Participate. You don't have to post a thought each week. But I would appreciate that every so often you post something. I don't care if it's your own thought or simply you saying that you like the thought of another. I just want to know that you're reading and thinking about the reading.
