Second: Again, with a year of reading and writing (almost!) behind you, what is your current idea and practice regarding the role of texts, both reading and writing them, in your life and in your education?

After taking this course in particular, I have come to realize that texts says way more than what’s written in black & white on the page. From the education aspect of texts, I now find myself reading and re-reading all of my material, taking detailed notes, and asking specific questions to help me to fully understand the topic. Ususally, when I am reading for my own entertainment, I tend to read books that truly lack substance. Since this class and learning about texts, I have begun to read a great deal of educational information with out being asked to or graded on.
