Some additional considerations/requirements:
- 12 point font, double spaced, at least one page per chapter.
- You may bring in outside resources and cite properly (don’t plagiarize)
- Constantly ask yourself questions as you’re reading like “why” and “what do I think of this” and “how does it relate to me” as opposed to simply trying to memorize information, that’s not the purpose of this exercise.
