Reading Reviews

Readings are discussed on the Discussion Board. The purpose of this exercise is (1) to encourage completing the week's readings in a timely fashion (2) to help prepare for the quiz (3) and to provide a forum to discuss the reading materials and "check-in" with other students on the major concepts covered in the material. Discussion is not free form and there are specific requirements and deadlines for discussion.

Students are required to post to the discussion board a minimum of 3 times per week - post as often as you wish beyond that number.

  • If there are multiple readings, the reading review should have a minimum of 2 interesting and 2 important aspect for each reading.
  • ALL posts must be at least 150 words.
  • ALL posts must be at least 12 hours apart - this is a discussion, not a monologue!
  • Posts (both reading review and reply) that do not meet deadlines, are under 150 words, or closer than 12 hours apart will not earn credit.
