Discussion Forums

The following twenty-three links duplicate the discussion forums in EduCat. They are provided here for convenience, allowing you to prepare and edit your initial responses to the prompts prior to posting them on EduCat.

Many of the forums offer several prompts from which to choose. You must respond to at least one of these, though you are welcome to respond to more than one. Nor must you confine your responses to the prompts; you are free to write about any aspect of the material that interests you. Whatever you decide, your 200-word contribution should offer some thoughtful reflection and analysis rather than simple statements of fact. It is due by 11:55pm on EduCat.

In addition to your initial post, you must file at least two 100-word responses to other students’ posts. Again, you are not limited to two responses nor to the 100-word minimum. Feel free to engage in as much discussion as possible, and to challenge each other to think more deeply about the material. These responses are due by 11:55pm the following day on EduCat.

For more on this two-part discussion structure, see Discussion Forum Guidelines.
