In courses where it is possible, term papers might be required earlier in the semester so that stu­ dents will have investigated differ­ ent approaches to the material pre­ sented in the course; each student will then have a solid basis from which to discuss issues brought up in class, and a great variety of well­ supported points of view would emerge. In some courses, a greater vari­ ety of books from which to choose one's reading might be offered. This would make possible more varied and stimulating discussion of a topic from a number of points of view. Reserve book assignments might consist of whole books, ra­ ther than specific page assign­ ments. The student must learn eventually to skim books, taking only the important material, if she hopes to do independent research later.
