TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL DISUSSION:

Write argumentative essays!

Identify which liberties, and what amendments to the constitution guarantee those liberties (provide definitions and explanations). Please, explain your agreement or disagreement with the USA-PATRIOT Act from a Constitutional perspective.

In your replies, please focus the constitutional nature of the discussion. Always, support your arguments with the readings. ‘A “yes, I agree with you comment” is not a critical assessment of your peer’s comment’

Required Textbooks:

Kenneth, J., Berry, J., Goldman, J., Schildkraut, D. & Hula, K. (2014). The Challenge of Democracy: American Government in Global Politics, The Essentials. 9th edition. New York, NY: Wadsworth/Cengage Learning.

King, J., Barghothi, A.J., Garner, A. & Schuhmann, R. (2012). The Equality State: Government and Politics in Wyoming. 7th edition. Peosta, IA: Eddie Bowers Publishing

In them, you will show not only your understanding of the topic, but your capacity to evaluate and provide constructive criticism (critical thinking) on the subject matter. A “yes, I agree with you comment” is not a critical assessment of your peer’s comment. Please, feel free to rebut any comment in an environment of democratic and respectful disagreement. Always, support your arguments with scholar evidence (books or journals).  Discussion Boards will close on Mondays at 11:59 p.m. It is your responsibility to keep up with all assignments; therefore, I suggest you to avoid any Internet issue by posting your comments and responses before the deadline.  Please, communicate effectively using appropriate sources. Pay attention on “…how each comment and open-ended question will be graded”.
