Instructions:This discussion will be completed in two parts and will give you an opportunity to reflect upon this week’s content and to interact with your classmates.
- Part 1 – Post your initial response to the discussion questions by Wednesday at 11:59 pm
- Part 2 – Post substantive feedback to two (2) classmates by Saturday at 11:59 pm
During each module, you should create a thread of your own to make comments or ask questions about the material. You should also respond to other threads started by at least two of your classmates. That’s a minimum of three posts per module: one of your own plus two responses.
- If you meet these requirements by each deadline indicated, you will receive at least 15 of 20 points possible for each discussion.
- To get more than 15 points, the quality of your various posts will be taken into account. Are your comments insightful? Are your questions thought-provoking?
- Do your criticisms move the discussion forward? And so forth.
- If you do not meet these requirements by the deadlines, your scores will be below 15 points.
- There is no length requirement on the discussion board. However, comments must be substantively concerned with the material.
- Simply saying that something was interesting is not enough; simply saying that you agree with a classmate is not enough.
- In cases where no substantive concern for the course content is indicated, the post in question will not count as one of the three required.
- See the “Course Schedule” section of the syllabus for the dates and times by which the discussion must be started and completed. Click on the link above to go directly to the Ethical Theory forum on the discussion board.
