Harkness Table Reflection

As in my last reflection, I believe that I talk quite a bit.  However, I do believe that I have slightly improved when it comes to policing myself and not over contributing, although I should continue to work on that. (Sometimes feel like I've contributed less than others while it may not be the case, and compensate by contributing more, which exacerbates the problem)  While I am still a 'primary contributor', I am on an equal level with at least 2 or 3 other people in the class in terms of speaking, and think that I have done a much better job in terms of listening since the last reflection as well.  However, I think that I've made very little improvement, or even taken steps backwards in staying engrossed in the text.  I often times notice, both in class and based on a few of the different Harkness charts, that although I often listen and am a part of the conversation, I rarely ever take notes or write on what is said, and have a problem with using the book to come up with textual evidence for my points in conversation.  ('I forgot where exactly it is' may have become too common a phrase).  Overall, I feel that I am about at an A- level for class participation around the Harkness table.  I definitely participate, but perhaps over actively, and while I may have valid and relevant points when I speak, I should work on textually supporting more of these points, and paying attention to both the book and the conversation.
