Instructions
A minimum of two discussion entries must be made for each topic. Be sure to enter at least two responses. The first one to answer each Discussion question is due each Thursday by 11:59 PM PT. The second response to each question as an interaction to another student’s posting is AFTER Thursday and due each Saturday by 11:59 PM PT (an argument, a comment, an explanation, or a disagreement). A mere “I agree, or I disagree” or just a question will not be counted for grading.
Your comments should add significantly to the discussion by suggesting alternative solutions, pointing out problems, or even totally disagreeing. Make sure to provide reasons for your position. Note that you will be graded on the quality and substance of your responses. Just saying “I agree” does not count. You need to add value to the discussion.
The following factors will be taken into consideration:
- The quality of your response
- The timeliness of your response
- The degree to which your comments stimulated further discussion
- Appropriate application of principles or concepts
Be positive in your approach to others and careful about your words. Use these discussions to develop your collaborative teamwork and interaction skills.
