Each time you respond to a classmate's post you can earn up to $5$ points per post for a total of $25$ points possible per discussion forum! This course relies heavily upon our review and discussion of the chapter lectures and reading assignments. These discussions are designed to enhance your understanding of historical frameworks through a thoughtful examination of both the text and lectures. You must complete the readings BEFORE we discuss them. Be sure to take notes as you read and include both critical analysis and specific examples in your discussions. Your participation in weekly discussions is required. As mentioned above, this course requires students to actively participate in class discussions. Given the nature of personal opinion, students may $($understandably yet respectfully$)$ disagree with each other or the professor. Posts must contain evidence from the text to support the stand taken in the post. Opinion without such textual support lacks credibility and earns few $($if any$)$ points! AND. $..$ of course, students are expected to behave diplomatically and voice their opinions in a professional, constructive manner!
