STEP 1: Respond to the following prompt in a post between 300 and 400 words:
Please introduce yourself. This part of the activity provides a general introduction into how we encounter everyday decision-making situations; and allows you an opportunity to reflect on your personal decision-making style. Listen carefully to each part of the TED Radio Hour feature “Decisions Decisions Decisions” presented below. You may wish to make notes as you go through each segment. Also, only describe aspects of your life that you are comfortable sharing with the entire class, as this information will be presented in an open forum.
After listening, provide well-reasoned answers to the following questions:
Which of the segments resonated most with you? Why?
Choose another segment – different from the one that most resonated with you. Which of the four heuristic types described in the text does the segment help illustrate? Cite references from the presentation in explaining your answer.
STEP 2: After you have created your initial post, look over the discussion posts of your classmates and give at least 3 thoughtful responses to 3 different classmates (one per classmate).
A response posting should be a minimum of one short paragraph. Word totals for these posts should be in the 75–100-word range. Whether you agree or disagree, explain why with supporting evidence and concepts from the readings or a related experience. Include a reference, link, or citation when appropriate. The goal of your response posts is to extend discussions already taking place or pose new possibilities or opinions not previously voiced. Your goal should be to motivate the group discussion and present a creative approach to the topic.
As always, be respectful and engaged within the online space.
Your postings will be assessed for your demonstrated ability to reflect deeply, combine your personal reflection/experience with research and analysis, and draw on material from the text to contribute a variety of perspectives in the pursuit of deep learning. For grading criteria, please consult the rubric for this assignment.
