Module 11 Discussion Forum
Forum Instructions
In a post below, respond to the following prompt, which assess(es) course outcome(s) X and module learning objective(s) X [linked to outcomes/objectives chapter in syllabus]. Then, you must respond to (X) 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[Edit previous three sentences to suit forum function/requirements].
Your [first] post is due on [day of week] by [time] CST. Your response to another student is due on
[day of week] by [time] CST. [Adjust for number of posts required.]
Your response should be at least [length requirement in words, sentences, or paragraphs] long. This includes responses to other students' posts. [Include previous sentence if necessary.] 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. [Edit as needed.]
Prompt
Choose THREE total from the LINK TO LEARNING sections from this chapter (there are five total). Once you have chosen your 3 to write on click on the LINK TO LEARNING link found in your textbook and visit the website and provide several specific and interesting examples and unique information you learned about your Click and Explore topic. Remember, you are visiting and writing about three (3) separate LINK TO LEARNING. The purpose of this assignment is to gather more knowledge about a specific topic and convey it to your classmates in a detailed, well-thought-out manner. Once you have written your summary of your section be sure to respond to at least two other classmates' posts by asking pertinent questions and providing a well-conceived analysis of what you read.
Be sure to respond to your classmates. A MINIMUM of 2 responses to your classmates. All posts must be written in your own words and not copied or pasted from the LINK TO LEARNING websites. Try to avoid making your posts too similar to another student in the class. There are only six websites, but there are a variety of topics from each website on which you can post.
