The purpose of Reading Notes is to help you read actively, think critically, and
connect the material to the real world. These assignments are not summaries.
Instead, they are your chance to demonstrate that you have engaged with the assigned
material closely and are thinking deeply about what it means.
Each Reading Note should be 300–350 words and include the following three required
sections:
1. Key Quote (6 points):
○ Choose one specific sentence, idea, or data point from the
assigned materials. Copy it exactly (with page number or minute of
the video).
○ In 2–3 sentences, explain why you chose it. For example: Was it
surprising? Confusing? Powerful? Did it challenge something you
previously believed?
○ Tip: This forces you to actually open the reading and engage with
specific details.
2. Comparative Insight (7 points):
○ Compare this week’s reading to either (a) a previous week’s
readings, or (b) another concept from class. For module 1, skip this
step.
○ How does this week's material complement or contradict previous
materials in the class?
○ Example: “Last week’s reading emphasized internal recruitment as
a way to boost retention, but this week’s author warns that
over-reliance on internal pipelines can stifle innovation.”
3. Prediction or Action Step (7 points):
○ Put yourself in the shoes of an HR manager. Based on what you
read, what one action step would you recommend to a company?
OR, what prediction would you make about how staffing practices
might evolve?
○ Be specific — “improve communication” is too vague. Instead:
“Implement a structured onboarding program that includes stay
interviews within the first 6 months to reduce turnover.”
Formatting Requirements:
● 300–350 words, Times New Roman 12pt.
● Generic summaries or responses without page-specific references will
receive reduced credit.
