Why, oh why, do students not print out JSTOR readings when they are required for class discussion? I would rather they not read the journal article, but print it out and bring it with them. Then at least we can refer to it during our discussion. I have to totally rearrange my discussion to avoid questions like: What does Smith argue on p. 142? I like to be textually grounded, and its nearly impossible to do that when no one has the readings.

Embarrassingly, a few times it has been ME who doesn't have the readings printed out for class. And the one thing more awkward than rearranging the questions is having to ask a student to let you see her printout so you know what your questions referred to.
