Journal This

I have to do a reading journal for each article I read for one of my classes. What a waste of time. I understand wanting to make sure that we think about these things, but come on. Do I really need to write 2 paragraphs about it? No. We are big kids now, and I think we can BS our way through class without having to do this, too. Since we read between 5 and 10 articles each week, this is at least 3 pages a week (single spaced, might I add). ICK!
