Directions Remember to complete the assigned reading/watching from Week 4 and watch the recorded lectures. Follow the prompt and submit your discussion post by Sunday at 11:59pm. Remember to respond thoughtfully to two of your peers. Read the rubric to see what qualifies as a "substantive reply" No AI Policy One-Week Extension Policy Guidelines Read the rubric to understand how Discussion posts are graded: How do I view the rubric for my graded discussion?Links to an external site. This is not a research project, so outside sources are not allowed. Use of outside sources may result in a loss of points or a "0" grade. The goal is to demonstrate an understanding of the assigned reading by applying course concepts to real world issues. However, perhaps you could cite a small example from an outside source, but it should not be at the expense of addressing the prompt and demonstrating your understanding of the assigned reading. Check with me if you are ever unsure. Students must post before viewing the posts of their peers. To help promote independent work, you cannot revise or delete your posts. Some try to cheat the system by posting a blank post, reading what others have written, and then synthesizing a reply based on what others have written. Blank submissions will earn 0 points. No AI Policy Formatting: 12 point font, Times New Roman, 1 inch margins, number your responses to the prompt questions, and organize your writing into paragraphs when appropriate. Remember to number your responses. Citations: Use in-text citations when citing or explaining evidence from the assigned reading/watching. Be sure to explain any quotations in your own words. When citing evidence, use in-text citations: include the author's name and the page number (if applicable). For example, (author-last-name page#). If citing evidence from a video, then cite the time-stamp. For example, "Quotation from the assigned video" (author name time stamp). Pro Tip: it's ok to shorten the passages. You can include [...] when you are omitting unnecessary text from the passage to shorten it. There is no need to sign your name at the end of your post (we can see your name next to your post) Treat this like a real conversation. There is no need to say things like "Great job on the post!" No one says these things in real life conversations. Discussion Prompt (The entire response must be within 300-500 words) The total word count should be at least 300 words and no more than 500 words. Aim to be clear and concise. There are no research projects in
