Module 1 Discussion Forum - History in the News
In a post below, respond to the following prompt, which assess course outcomes 1-7. Then, you must respond to 2 of your classmates' posts. After you post a response, you will be able to see other responses. You are not required to post more than once, but feel free to respond to other posts and engage with your classmates
Your initial post is due on Thursday by 8am CST. Your responses to another student is due on Sunday by 8pm CST.
Your response should be at least 6-8 sentences long. This includes responses to other students' posts. A simple “I agree” or “Yes” or “LOL” will not count. Please think about the questions and your peers' responses and reply thoughtfully and courteously, according to netiquette rules. Use good English grammar, correct punctuation, and complete sentences. While the posts will mostly be judged by their thoughtfulness and completeness, I reserve the right to take off points for grammatical errors, especially if they interfere with the clarity of the post.
