  • An\u00a0enormous <\/strong>post\u00a0is your\u00a0original response\u00a0to my prompt. It must be at least\u00a0200 words, and is worth 60 points. It\u2019s recommended that you submit your primary post a few days prior to the due date to allow classmates to respond.\u00a0<\/li><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • A\u00a0reply to classmate<\/strong>\u00a0is your response to a classmate\u2019s post. Each of your\u00a0two replies<\/strong>\u00a0must be at least 50 words, and each is worth 20 points (40 total).\u00a0<\/li><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • All posts should reflect some reasoned thought on your part. Think of them as mini-essays that help you make a clear, focused point.<\/li><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Your posts should contain some degree of formality: spell-checked, organized, etc. However, they will also be a part of a discussion, so they fall somewhere in between formal essays and an email to a friend.<\/li><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • All posts should be courteous.<\/li><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Feel free to post as many replies to classmates as you like. After you complete the two required replies to classmates (at least 50 words each), your other posts can be as short, or as long, as you want.<\/li><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • You will receive full credit (100 points) for each post (1 enormous reply and two replies to classmates) if you fulfill all of the above requirements. I will deduct points if your posts are: too short, show little thought, are excessively sloppy in terms of grammar, spelling and mechanics, engage in personal attacks or other breaches of common etiquette.\u00a0<\/li><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • No late replies to classmates will be accepted. If you submit your enormous post after the due date, the highest score you can receive is a 60.\u00a0<\/strong><\/li> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
