The Discussion Board Db Is Part Of The Core Of Online Learning Clas

The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion. At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts from students.

The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Wednesday of each week. Two additional responses are required after Wednesday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often, as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation. The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each week.

After a hurried taxi ride from the airport to your job interview, you did not realize that you ripped the jacket of your $500 suit on an exposed spring in the seat of the taxi. The next day, your tailor tells you that the suit jacket cannot be repaired without the fix being visible. Because the suit is not brand new, you do not expect the taxi company to reimburse you for the full $500 that you paid for the suit, but you do think that $200 is reasonable. You have the taxi company’s address from your receipt, so you decide to write them. For your Discussion Board post, write a persuasive letter to the taxi company requesting a $200 reimbursement for ripping your suit jacket.

Paper For Above instruction

To the management at QuickRide Taxi Service,

I am writing to formally request reimbursement for damages incurred during a recent ride with your company. On the morning of March 15th, I used your service to attend an important job interview. Unfortunately, due to an exposed spring in the taxi seat, my expensive suit jacket was torn, resulting in damage that cannot be repaired without visible alterations. As a professional attire, my suit jacket was vital for the interview, and the damage has compromised its appearance.

According to the tailor I visited afterward, the tear cannot be concealed without visible modifications, making the jacket unusable for formal occasions. Given the circumstances, I believe a reimbursement of $200 is reasonable and fair, representing a significant portion of the cost of the jacket but acknowledging its prior wear. I understand that accidents happen, and I am hopeful that your company values customer satisfaction and will address my request accordingly.

For your reference, I have included the receipt from my purchase of the suit, which cost $500, and the repair estimate provided by the tailor. I trust that QuickRide Taxi Service will handle this matter promptly and professionally. Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss this issue further. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
