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) with APA formatting. 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.

Replying to classmates’ posts (Forum Replies) is a deeper-engagement option: same evidence-and-citation expectations as the original post, civil and grounded in documentable research.

Format#

• ~250 words per post, APA-formatted evidence

• Weekly (TBD: exact day/time for post and reply deadlines — carried over from an earlier draft as Sunday 11:59 PM post / Tuesday 11:59 PM replies, needs confirming)

Submission#

• D2L Brightspace discussion board
• (TODO) Confirm D2L forum setup

📌 See the syllabus for how Forum Posts and Forum Replies factor into your Class Engagement grade.
