Discussions

Class participation is an important, graded component of the course. All students are expected to adhere to the course syllabus and schedule. It is the responsibility of the student to be aware of what is happening in the class. When preparing for the discussion assignments, the student should plan on, at a minimum, three separate discussion postings. The first posting is due by Thursday, 11:59 PM EST/EDT, of the week in which the assignment is due. That first posting will reflect the student's take on the assigned material. That posting should be well-thought-out and well-written and include appropriately cited online research and text references. Everyone is expected to build the discussion by posting thoughtful and substantive interactive responses to your classmates' posts. Three instances of interaction are required and more are encouraged. Interaction should include constructive criticism (positive and negative) offered in a supportive, collegial spirit. In an active learning experience, such as discussion, constructive criticism can be a very powerful learning tool if offered in this manner. The deadline date to post your responses is Sunday, 11:59 PM EST/EDT. McGraw-Hill Connect
