How the Online Class Works<\/h5>\n

This is a fully online class. That means that we do not have any face-to-face meetings. Each week you will be responsible for completing 4-7 tasks. The tasks are varied and include reading, listening, viewing, and discussing activities. You will be graded on your responses to the discussion board, quizzes, and of course, on your essays. From time to time you will be directed or linked back to the Blackboard platform.<\/p>\n

Even in an online course, lively discussions are at the heart of an interesting class. Please lend your voice and ideas to all discussion boards. These are the main forums for interaction in an online course and are also the primary means of showing your presence in the class.<\/p>\n

Discussion Board Etiquette<\/h5>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Please respond in full sentences in correct English (not in texting language).<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Please use upper and lower case. If you want to add emphasis, use italics rather than capital letters.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Disagreement with the opinions of others is fine–even admirable–but please show respect for fellow classmates in your responses.<\/p>\n

Discussion Board Grading<\/h5>\n

Class participation via the discussion board makes up a significant percentage of your overall grade (20%). To receive full credit for a DB your first post must be submitted by Friday of each week. One additional post, which responds to the comments of another student, must be submitted by midnight on Sunday. It is likely that posts submitted very late in the week will not be read by others, which defeats the whole purpose of the DB, which is to communicate and interact. I will respond personally to each post submitted by midnight on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

To receive credit, comments must be substantive and help to move the conversation along. Comments such as “Nice post” or “I agree,” though friendly, do not qualify as comments and will not receive credit.<\/p>\n
