Yeah, I probably should have asked that question first, before diving into two areas I need help with:

how do we generate more time for people to read?

how do we eliminate plagiarism from our writing?

Here are the unedited student answers:

EVERYONE: spend less time on small talk

VG: return to workspace norms so people can focus

SH: we should all take the incentive to read more in book group and on our own

some may people may talk the talk but don’t really wanna do the extra work (in other words, walk the walk)

DW: When we have to read on laptops, stay focused, don’t play games, or listen to music.”

LM: Spend less time talking in circle

KM: not enough time to read for research so we have to help each other out.

TC: Reaarrange time and scheduling

IJ: Make sure they have a clear idea of what the sources are about so you’ll know whether they should read it or not.

MH: Have a higher level of accountability but not in the sense of public shaming. If everybody is truly engaged in their topic and their work then ideally this problem will vanish.

BC: Know that sometimes you have to do extra research.

There’s lots here to return to tomorrow. I also worry about the schedule — how do we help students use as much of time as wisely as they can — and how do we not punish the students who are on-time with discussions that may or may not apply to them. In other words, the folks who understand that the culture supports the work don’t necessarily benefit by constantly reviewing how the culture supports the work.
