| - | Research flourishes through cultivating habits. Each week, students will produce a weekly notebook entry that reflects engagement with the assigned readings, in dialog with their own research projects. The notebook might consist of a prose reflection, bullet points, annotated pictures, network charts, or whatever else best suits your ways of thinking. Be sure to reflect on both the content of the readings and their methodologies. | + | Research flourishes through cultivating habits.
