You must ask one question about this week’s readings on this discussion board AND you must respond to TWO questions that have been posted by other students. All questions must be posted by Tuesday at 11:59 PM, and all responses must be posted by Thursday at 11:00 AM. Please note that there may not be more than three answers per question (if three students have already responded to a question, you must choose a different question to respond to).
Before completing this assignment, be sure that you have read the Discussion Board Instructions assignment sheet, Discussion Board Grading Rubric, and course information on academic integrity and plagiarism, including the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in this course.
You also should view this video about posting on Canvas Discussion Boards: videoLinks to an external site.
Also, please keep in mind that you may sometimes find it helpful or even necessary to do some brief internet research when writing questions or responses on the Discussion Boards. In addition to always providing citations for any outside sources of information that you use in your posts, it is your responsibility (and part of your Discussion Board grade) to make sure that any information that you find on the internet is reliable and appropriate for the academic discussion in which you are participating. If you haven’t already done so, you should be sure to view the following materials (along with the Discussion Board Instructions assignment sheet) before making any posts on the discussion boards:
Evaluating Sources for CredibilityLinks to an external site.
“The Trap MethodLinks to an external site.”
“Internet Searching” (note: you do not need to fill out this page, but you do need to read it and keep it in mind when using any outside sources of information in this course)
Other Important Notes:
Please do not upload posts as file attachments. All posts should be made as text on the discussion board itself (if you prefer to type out a post in a Word document, please type out the post in a Word document and then cut and paste the final text of that post directly onto the discussion board).
Your posts for all discussion boards will appear as zero or as missing in the Canvas grade center until I have had the opportunity to review all posts and enter grades for everyone. When I have completed this process, I will post an announcement and/or send out an email to let you know that grades have been posted. If Canvas still incorrectly characterizes your posts as missing or with zero points after I have made that announcement, please contact me.
I do strongly recommend that you keep copies of your posts in a saved file on your computer, just in case they do not save properly on the discussion boards themselves; however, you only need to post the written text of your posts onto the discussion board itself in order to complete the discussion board assignments.
