WHAT TO POST<\/strong> <\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An enormous <\/strong>post is your original response to my prompt. It must be at least 200 words, and is worth 75 points. It\u2019s recommended that you submit your primary post a few days prior to the due date to allow classmates to respond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A reply to classmate<\/strong> is your response to a classmate\u2019s post. Imagine you are chatting with them and do so in at least 75 words. The reply is worth 25 points.<\/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.<\/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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Feel free to post as many replies to classmates as you like. After you complete your reply of 75+ words, your other replies can be as short, or as long, as you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will receive full credit (100 points) for each post (1 enormous post + 1 reply to a classmate) 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. <\/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 70. <\/strong>Why? Because no one returns to conversations that ended, right?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
