Saylor English Composition

The following link is to the reading assignment for a basic writing course I'm taking at Saylor.org because for some reason I have the notion that I'm going to complete an English major over there before entering grad school so that I am fully refreshed from three years of insufficient reading, and too-sufficient drinking and drug use.

I tried to copy and paste the bit that I liked but it distorted the text. I'm saving it here because I like the questions that Charlton includes at the end. I've also taken notes on my Notable app, under Saylor ENGL001.1. I'm happy I am enjoying this course so far even though it's just a refresher and I'm taking a similar one on Coursera.

While I'm here, I suppose I'll record that I plan to do about one subunit a day with a day or two off here or there, or about 1-2 hours of work. It will take me a very long time to get through the major, as this one course alone is projected to take 103 hours, or just over two and a half full-time (40hr) work weeks with no breaks. I'm going to try to speed up the process, though, since I've taken many intro comp courses.

Also, a reminder to myself to curb the excessive note-taking. One summary per page/section should suffice.
