This discussion is designed to test your understanding of the material and your ability to incorporate the themes and concepts from the course materials thus far. You need to do the readings and be prepared to add value to your group’s discussions. You will be required to contribute one (1) Initial Post.
For the discussion, please ensure that when responding to another group member’s post you provide supporting evidence (i.e. further evidence from the readings). You may also want to critically (and diplomatically) examine the posts of other group members (by respectfully and professionally offering alternative evidence/insights).
Please remember, the point of the discussion is to give you an opportunity to share your perspective, supported by academic evidence found in the course content or another academic source.
As a general rule, before you post something, please ask yourself, Could I have written this without doing the readings? If the answer is yes, then chances are you are missing the mark (pardon the pun) for that discussion.You will need to demonstrate, in your discussions, that you are not “faking” it and that you have, in fact, completed the readings and can apply the material. You will not be able to view other posts until you have made your initial post. You will not be able to edit your initial post, so please ensure it is complete, including in-text citations and references, and that it has been proofread before posting. Please review the attached rubric to understand how marks will be allotted. Instructions for the Initial Post and Reply Posts are provided in their respective sections below.
