JOURNAL
Journal (20% of the grade): Students should keep a journal, from the first day of reading to the last, on their
readings of our class reading assignments from the two required books, as they write their reflections on what they
read. In your reflections, try to focus on what you learn from these two authors, Dostoyevsky and Foucault, on
crime and punishment. The journal will be graded based on three learning rubrics: the journal demonstrates 1)
engagement with the reading by providing details or quotations that support what was learned, 2) self-awareness
of how the student learned what was learned from the reading and studies and 3) shows that students who can
explain how they learned what they learn remember what they learned better. Journals should be active all
throughout the semester.
