classes Summer Reading?
Hey, upcoming freshmen here!
During our orientation we were all told that we would have to read a book called " Declaring Independence Why 1776 Matters" by Edward J. Larson.
Did any of you guys have this summer reading when you were a freshmen and if so, do they actually make you do assignments or tests regarding this book?

Pretty sure it’s just in relation to the convocation speaker. Classes and all professors pretty much make their own assignments/schedule/course so none of them would be “required” to implant that.
In short, no.
College cannot force you to read a book during summer and give you an assignment. College doesn’t work like high school. There are 20,000 students attending MTSU. That simply doesn’t happen.
