Participation - Discussion Posts - Scoring Guide:
Discussion activities are a key component of your course. In each unit, you will engage in critical
discussions with other learners on topics raised in the unit.
As part of the discussion, you will review and respond to the postings of other learners. Your
responses should be substantive, going beyond a statement like “I agree” or "Good job."
Respectfully challenge one another/s assumptions. Explain why you disagree, ask questions, and
make suggestions for improvements. You may engage in as much discussion as you wish. In
fact, you are encouraged to engage in extended discussions with multiple learners. An active
discussion will enrich everyone’s learning.
You will be evaluated on both the substance of your response and the quality of your writing.
Errors in spelling or in grammar detract from the quality of your message. Be sure to proofread
your responses because you cannot edit them after posting.
There will be due dates for initial posts and replies to classmates each week. This will allow
enough time for learner-to-learner interaction. If you will have difficulty working with this
schedule, contact your instructor prior to the beginning of the unit.
