Reading Comprehension: Identifying Confusion

I recently posted about Mylène’s attempts to teach “technical reading.” Now she has another post on a different exercise she used: Reading Comprehension: Identifying Confusion.  Once more, good stuff that would be very useful in beginning engineering classes.

I have a hard time justifying 20 minutes in my grad classes on this sort of vocabulary-based reading (though there are probably students who need it).  It might be a good exercise to get into the TA training course though, on the off chance that they would accept the instruction if disguised as a technique they could teach, rather than one they need to use themselves.
