Instructions:

What is the purpose of a forum?

Think of the forum as a classroom experience where you “meet” with your instructor and peers to discuss the weekly topic in terms of the readings, assignments, and resources that have been assigned.  The desired outcome is that you are able to (1) collaborate with peers and the instructor, (2) demonstrate your understanding of the material, and (3) participate as a member of an online community.

What are the responsibilities of the instructor?

The instructor’s goal is to create an engaging and safe environment for students to learn.  In addition, instructors should pose questions promoting deeper thought as well as encourage students to interact with their peers in the classroom.  There should be an active instructor presence throughout the week.

What are the responsibilities of the student?

Each week, you are required to make write 300 words or more for initial posting and respond to a maximum of 3 students.  Responses must be a maximum of 150 words or more and include direct questions. 

If you meet the above-mentioned requirements, you will be graded at the proficient level.  However, if your desire is to be graded at the exemplary level, please provide more than the minimum required.  To receive 100% as a grade (the exemplary level) for the weekly forums, you should ensure that your responses meet the following criterion:

Critical Analysis - Discussion postings display an excellent understanding of the required readings and underlying concepts, including correct use of terminology. Postings are made in time for others to read and respond, as well as deliver information that is full of thought, insight, and analysis. The information presented makes connection to previous or current content, or to real-life situations, and must contain rich and fully developed new ideas, connections, or applications. (It is important that you integrate the weekly readings in your response. One way to do that is to make position statements, then discuss supporting evidence (i.e. research and/or personal experience).
 

Participation as a Member of the Learning Community - Discussion postings actively stimulate and sustain further discussion by building on peers' responses, including building a focused argument around a specific issue, by asking a new directly related question, or by making an oppositional statement supported by personal experience or directly related research. (Please plan your time wisely.  Your responses should encourage your peers to respond to your postings and build the foundation for the class to review and discuss your initial posting.  It’s important that you meet the Wednesday November 9, 2016 deadline for your initial posting so that others can respond.  Having all of your work in or BEFORE Wednesday November 9, 2016 BEFORE midnight which will would allow your peers to provide comments to your feedback and strengthens your ability to participate as a member of the weekly learning community discussions.)
 

Professional Communication and Etiquette - Written interactions in the Forum show respect and sensitivity to the background and beliefs of your peers (Regardless of the position you take, please ensure that your comments are respectful to the background and beliefs of your peers).

Writing Skills - Written responses are free of grammatical, spelling, or punctuation errors.  The style of writing facilitates communication. (Make sure your work is free of errors.  If there are any errors as outlined above, you will not receive 100% for the forum).
