The exchange of ideas among colleagues engaged in scholarly inquiry is a key aspect of graduate-level learning and is a requisite activity in this course.
Requirements: When assigned, you are expected to participate at least 2 separate days a week in the weekly Discussion area. Discussion topics/questions are provided in the Discussion area under each weekly button. In addition, you are expected to respond to your fellow students' postings. To count as participation, responses need to be thoughtful; that is, they must refer to the week's readings, relevant issues in the news, information obtained from other sources, and/or ideas expressed in other class members' postings. Where appropriate, you should use scholarly references to support your position. The Discussion questions require a response to at least one or two other colleagues’ postings; this response should be no more than two paragraphs long.
If there is one Discussion question for the week, postings are due by Day 4, and responses are due by Day 6. If there are two Discussion questions for the week, postings to Discussion 1 are due by Day 3, and responses are due by Day 5; postings to Discussion 2 are due by Day 4, and responses are due by Day 6. It is important to adhere to the weekly time frame to allow others ample time to respond to your posting. ( Note: There will be circumstances where the Discussion postings will be due on a completely different day. Please adhere to the instructions set forth in the course.)
Discussions will be graded according to the Discussion Rubric found in the Course Info area and in the above rubric section.
