Unit 5 Discussion
This is a week of reflection for us in the discussion. You are working on finishing, editing, and revising your essay that is due by the end of this week.
As you think about your essay, your writing process, and what you need, answer each of the following:
- What is one area you are struggling with as you finish your essay?
- What is one area you need to focus on as you revise your essay? (CSLO 5.2)
- What is something that you have learned about your own writing process and needs with this essay assignment? (CSLO 5.2)
Your initial response should have your informed input and should be at least 100 words. Your input should be in your own words, demonstrating your understanding and comprehension of the topic.
Response Posts
Then, return to the discussion assignment on a second and third day to respond to your peers’ posts. Your responses should be substantive and generate discussion to further explore the topic(s). You can respond to your instructor or your classmates’ posts for credit. Each response post should be at least 75 words each, and you should respond to two of your peers. Unit Discussion Requirements
As part of your learning experience, active participation in discussions is essential. An important part of the final grade will be based on your participation. You will be evaluated on the quality and quantity of your participation in the discussion forum that corresponds to the grading rubric.
The initial post and responses should be in your own words and demonstrate critical thinking, analysis, and expected level of knowledge. Initial posts and replies should be in complete sentences and in paragraph form. You should not have bullet points as they are not in complete sentences or paragraph form. Copy-pasting may result in a zero.
To fully address the chosen prompt, you will refer to the topical outline of the course syllabus that corresponds with the prompt you select. This will help guide you in demonstrating your understanding of the content while providing a thorough and detailed discussion post. Each prompt or response to a prompt should be more than a few sentences to demonstrate critical thinking. Initial posts must include a minimum of one APA 7th edition style in-text citations and full matching references of appropriate reading to support your responses.
