Forum Posts

Each week there’s outside material to read, watch, or listen to. You respond to a posed question about that material in a roughly 250-word post, using evidence from the material and your own research, cited in APA format. This is also the main place you’ll do the metacognitive analysis described in the learning goals: how your own use of, and relationship to, these systems is shifting.

Forum posts are due on D2L before the first day of class each week (Sunday at 11:59pm).

Replying to classmates’ posts is a deeper-engagement option, held to the same evidence-and-citation standard as the original post. Replies must be civil and grounded in documentable research; a reactionary or inflammatory reply means a required meeting with me.

You get two (2) drops; no questions asked.

Meeting expectations means posting consistently at or above the standard. Exceeding expectations also means replying to four forum posts over the semester. See the syllabus for the full Class Engagement breakdown.
