Read the article “Welcome to the ‘Real World’”.
What does the article, “Welcome to the ‘Real World’” discuss? How do you think you are being prepared or preparing for the real world via your experiences here at Calhoun? Do you agree with the author’s conclusions?
(Notice how I have used double quotations in the title of the article. I expect you to do the same)
Sample for the Opening and Citation
Here is a sample of how you must begin your response and how you must cite your quotation. The quotation is taken from the web link provided for your reading.
Every discussion response must begin with the title of the reference article and the name of the author.
Zahir Janmohamed the writer of “Your Cultural Attire”, discusses the significance of traditional clothing in the cultural mosaic of the United States. He observes, “Part of the problem is that we spend too much time interrogating the term appropriation but very little time questioning what exactly culture is.” (Janmohamed / “Your Cultural Attire”)
What the citation means is that you could use either the name of the author or that of the article since the web link provided does not have page or paragraph numbers provided.
You may choose any quotation that suits your discussion but follow the format for the in-text citation. The quotation should not be longer than three typed lines.
