"My mother was a domestic. Through her work, she observed that successful people spent a lot more time reading than they did watching television." (Source: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4950531 )

Tuesday

  1. Discuss Catalina's insightful remark that followed the last MUSE Workshop - "We [already] know what to do."  I think there was a "but" after this remark(?). The "but" may have several levels of interpretation.
  2. Note-taking - method, storage, use
  3. Reading
  4. Specifics -- see relation to item 1, perhaps using the exam as an illustration
  5. How the exam was scored, and what your exam score means
