TP #4 Jordan

Husain and I met at my apartment last week and we again focused on reading under a time limit. I brought an academic book and I gave him a limit of five minutes per page. I added a bonus section where we discussed the meaning of the page. This was an effort to establish a dialogue and work on speaking and presenting what we read. The topic of Saudi Arabian oil politics. While we did engage in some debate on the future of the US-Saudi relationship, it did digress into a goofy conversation.Unfortunately, we didn't recover from this digression, but these sessions of timed reading has helped Husain immensely.
