Discussion Questions
September 24th, 2022
“Initial” posts in response to the topic instructions include (1) documentation of factual information to support opinions, including use of assigned readings in responding to questions, (2) demonstrating the ability to synthesize information, critically analyze and elaborate on the course material in a focused and well organized manner, and (3) clearly showing that the post author has made meaning of the material rather than merely reiterating what a published author or classmate has already stated. Posts are a balance of professional dialog style and grounding in scholarly information rather than essay submissions.
