Student readings
The ability to read and understand the research literature is an important skill,
but one whose development requires lots of practice. In order to help my student research assistants develop this skill,
I give them occasional study guides, which I have previously found helpful in introducing the literature to naive readers.
(More details are available on my Primary literature page.) An archive of
reading assignments is presented in the table below.
