Master Students Must Make 8 Notes On 3 4 Different Daysmust Use Log I
Master students must make 8 notes on 3-4 different days. Must use log in information to access website. If you do not meet the required 8 posts for the entire week, each missing post is a 5-point deduction. Please ensure that you understand the participation post requirements that are outlined in the instructor policy document. First, this New Classeoom permits all students the freedom to create participation posts on topics that interest you, rather than forcing you to respond to required, pre-created questions on topics that bore you.
Now, since this is a 600-level class, we have reached the second highest level of rigor expectations here at the university. The next highest level of course work is 700-level classes and that is for doctorate programs. This 600-level class permits your opinions to be shared, but all opinions and ideas in posts must be backed up and supported with academic content in this graduate course. It's mentioned in the instructor policy document and is a policy I do ensure is upheld. If you have not been earning S bubbles on your posts, are you meeting all the requirements that have been laid out for participation requirements?
Are your posts... Substantial in content (i.e., lengthy)? Founded in facts? Supported with academic resources? Giving credit and attribution to the author(s) of the sources you consulted?
One factor that can contribute to not earning a green S bubble - if you write opinion posts that have no supporting academic content. Another factor for not earning participation credit is posting a big, long quote, expecting it to "speak" for you and then you have very few supporting sentences of your own that you wrote. I support the use of quotations in academic work, but quotes are meant to enhance and supplement your own writing and should not take the place of you having to write your own work. Another reason students could not earn a green S bubble is that the post is short and thus lacking significantly in substantial content. Another reason a person could not earn credit is by not giving proper credit and attribution to the ideas and concepts that are presented in the participation post.
Protect yourself against plagiarism. Since all posts are required to contain academic content, all posts must have in-text citations and a reference to give credit and author attributions. This is mandatory to earn credit for your post. Any element that is missing will result in no credit for the post. This is in the instructor policy document too. The last possible reason a person could earn a U bubble is for writing a post that contains major grammar and spelling errors or writing incomplete or incoherent sentences.
Paper For Above instruction
The assignment requires graduate students to make a total of eight participation notes across three to four different days, utilizing the course's logging system for access. The purpose of this activity is to ensure consistent engagement and reflection throughout the week, with a focus on quality, academic rigor, and proper citation practices. As a 600-level course, the expectations are high, demanding that posts are lengthily articulated, evidence-based, supported by credible academic resources, and properly attributed with in-text citations and references.
This participation process is designed not merely to fulfill a requirement but to foster critical thinking and scholarly dialogue. The students are encouraged to create posts on topics that interest them, thereby promoting genuine engagement with course material. However, the quality of posts is non-negotiable; posts must be substantial, well-supported, and free of plagiarism, with proper acknowledgement of all sources used.
Academic integrity is central to this assignment. Incorporating quotations is permissible, but they must complement original writing and should not replace the student’s own analysis. Providing proper citations and references is essential to demonstrate scholarly diligence and to avoid plagiarism. Posts with inadequate content, unsupported opinions, lack of citations, or grammatical errors will not earn participation credit, which is quantified by the “S bubble” system.
In this context, earning an “S bubble” signifies meeting or exceeding expectations for substantive quality, academic support, proper attribution, and language clarity. Conversely, posts that are short, unsubstantiated, plagiarized, or linguistically flawed will result in a lower or no participation grade (U bubble). Adhering to these guidelines ensures that students not only meet course expectations but also develop essential skills in academic writing, critical thinking, and scholarly communication.
The importance of regular, thoughtful participation cannot be overstated in graduate-level education. By making consistent posts, supporting ideas with academic sources, and attributing them properly, students contribute meaningfully to their learning community and uphold the standards of scholarly integrity demanded by the institution.
