Guidelines: You Will Submit Your Original Post Then Engage

Guidelinesyou Will Submit Your Original Post Then Engage At Least Tw

GUIDELINES You will submit your original post, then engage at least two of your online colleagues in a discussion about his/her responses by responding to their posts. Therefore, you should have at least one original posting and one response to each of two colleagues. Please note that your postings and responses must be "substantive", which means that they are to add to the discussion and be made AFTER you have read the assigned material (at least 3-4 well-written sentences for each prompt). Please note that your Discussion Board assignments are worth a significant part of your course grade, therefore, you are expected to put thought and effort into these entries. Please do not attach your discussion board posts as word documents. You may type your post in a word document, but then it needs to be copied and pasted into the actual discussion board thread before submitting. I need you to do 2 peer response, approx 4 sentences to each. One for Kaleb and the other one for Osuji.

Paper For Above instruction

The discussion board assignment emphasizes active participation through initial posts and peer responses, requiring students to engage meaningfully with course material and their classmates. The core requirement involves submitting an original post that reflects thoughtful analysis of the assigned material, followed by responding substantively to at least two peers, specifically Kaleb and Osuji. Each response should be approximately four sentences and should aim to extend the conversation, clarify points, or provide constructive insights.

This structure encourages critical thinking and ensures asynchronous interaction, fostering a community of learning. Engaging with peers enhances understanding by exposing students to diverse perspectives and promotes collaborative learning. Because these assignments are significant for course grading, students are expected to devote time and effort into crafting meaningful, well-articulated posts that contribute substantively to the discussion.

In practical terms, students can compose their initial posts offline, preferably in a word processor for editing, before pasting into the discussion forum to avoid technical issues or formatting loss. The requirement of peer responses underscores the importance of dialogue; it is not merely about posting but actively participating in ongoing discussions. Such engagement benefits all participants by deepening comprehension of course content and developing communication skills.
