Thank you for the powerful post 5. I especially enjoyed the wide range of resources about the Middle East that you shared with us.
A few of you seemed to have skipped posting altogether–and yes, your lowest Discussion Board grade is being dropped so you can absolutely decide to leave one post blank. Missing one is fine, but missing more than one will negatively impact your grade. You decide.
I also read your research essay plans. Overall, as long as you submitted your plan, you have clearly started working on the project, which is essential. I’ve commented on everyone’s plan individually on Blackboard–please see my feedback, and proceed to your next step. If you haven’t completed this assignment yet, please do so by the end of midterm week/ this unit.
Warm wishes,
Prof. Barnes
