For the “3-2-1” post and reply, students are expected to post the following information on the discussion board for each week:

● 3 concepts you learned from the readings/videos/audio (3 sentences total; 2 point each)

○ Ie. what was something you found interesting? What is something new you learned?

○ Please post well-thought responses. An example of a well-thought response: “I learned that dementia is an umbrella term to describe subtypes of cognitive impairment that cause impairment in daily functioning.” An example of a poorly thought response: “I learned what dementia means.”

● 2 questions you have about the readings/videos/audio (2 sentences total; 2 points each)

○ What continues to pique your curiosity after completing the reading, watching the video, or listening to the audio? What questions did the reading/video/audio not answer for you?

○ Please post well-thought questions. An example of a well-thought question: “Isolation may become a problem for older adults, but what are the best way for them to make friends?” An example of a poorly thought question: “Old people are lame. Anyone agree?”

○ Please do not edit your questions once you have posted them, as this will confuse other students who have/have not replied to a post and myself during the grading process.

● 1 reply to peer ○ Make your best attempt to answer one question posted by a peer. When I

say best attempt, I mean that your answer is not graded for being right or wrong. Some questions may not even have a right answer. Therefore, you are expected to use the knowledge you have to answer the question. Make it brief!

○ For example, if I were to answer this question: “Isolation may become a problem for older adults, but what is the best way for them to make

friends?” I could say, “I think a good way for older adults to make friends would be to go to a gym for seniors and take exercise classes. At the gym I go to there is a walking group for seniors called Silver Sneakers. – seems to be quite popular.”
