4 Forum Comment Posts – each student will submit a short paper with a brief comment on the readings/audiovisual resources assigned for that week. Students will submit a total of four forums and hand them in hardcopy during class time. In the short one page paper, you may write comments regarding observations from what the authors are presenting in the readings, questions in the forum, connections between the audiovisual resources and the readings, or comments on the lectures.
You may use 3 sentences at the beginning or end of your post to discuss personal connections or responses to the materials—you liked it, you hated it, it reminded you of something in your life, etc. The rest of your post should respond in a considered and scholarly way to the materials. In your forum discussion post, try to address the questions posed, and be sure to reference materials specifically, so that we know what you are referring to. Keep your post focused on thinking critically about the materials.
- Write and present something new: a screenshot of a Tweet, a link for a news article, a video that is related to our course themes, a photograph, and include with this your own analysis. Respond to the prompt.
- Respond to questions posed. Each week, I will post prompt questions in our course webpage.
Requirement: Submit two posts before the mid-term essay is due, and two posts after the midterm is due. This means that you should submit before and after the midterm, meaning that you can’t turn in comments only during the beginning of the semester or during the end of the semester. No late papers will be accepted.
