Initial Post

For your initial post (due by day four of the unit), answer all of the following questions.

• Include a brief introduction and tell us something interesting about you! If you have a preferred name you like to go by, please include that as well.
• After watching this week’s video, what are three strategies that you will implement in order to find success in English Composition this term? (USLO 1.1)
• What do you do when undertaking the writing process? Then, compare that to the process prescribed in the content for this unit. How are they different? How are they the same? (USLO 1.1)
• Finally, what motivates you? Please share a photograph with us showing us what (or who) serves as your motivation. It might be handy to print this and keep it close to help serve as motivation throughout this course!

Your initial response should have your informed input and should be at least 100 words. Your input should be in your own words, demonstrating your understanding and comprehension of the topic. Remember to include an in-text citation and a reference in APA 7th-edition format (see examples below).

Response Posts

Then, return to the discussion assignment on a second and third day to respond to your peers’ posts. Your responses should be substantive and generate discussion to further explore the topic(s). You can respond to your instructor or your classmates’ posts for credit. Each response post should be at least 75 words each, and you should respond to two of your peers

Unit Discussion Requirements

Think of this as a discussion we may have in the classroom setting, except we are doing it online over the course of a week. If you have questions about this participation requirement, post them to the Course Questions Forum. Only posts related to the discussion topic should be posted in the discussion forum.

As part of your learning experience, active participation in discussions is essential. An important part of the final grade will be based on your participation. You will be evaluated on the quality and quantity of your participation in the discussion forum that corresponds to the grading rubric.

The initial post and responses should be in your own words and demonstrate critical thinking, analysis, and expected level of knowledge. Initial posts and replies should be in complete sentences and in paragraph form. You should not have bullet points as they are not in complete sentences or paragraph form. Copy-pasting may result in a zero.

To fully address the chosen prompt, you will refer to the topical outline of the course syllabus that corresponds with the prompt you select. This will help guide you in demonstrating your understanding of the content while providing a thorough and detailed discussion post. Each prompt or response to a prompt should be more than a few sentences to demonstrate critical thinking. Initial posts must include a minimum of one APA 7th edition style in-text citations and full matching references of appropriate reading to support your responses. 

To meet the minimum participation requirements, you will post relevant content 3 different days during the week. The first post is due by day four of the week by 11:59PM, Eastern Time. Once you make the initial post, you will see other people’s posts. You will post replies on at least two additional days by day seven of the week by 11:59PM, Eastern Time.
