Discussion+Topics

Directions: Your job is to respond to the discussion post by answering my initial questions or following the directions there. You will earn a grade for correctly responding to the discussion approximately once each week. (Note: After the due date, the discussion will be locked. You may only receive credit by responding by the due date assigned.) Full credit will be based on 3 criteria: 1. Completeness of your response (In MOST cases, A COUPLE PARAGRAPHS SHOULD be sufficient. Make sure to address each question completely and clearly, citing specific examples, etc.), 2. Reasonably correct spelling and grammar. 3. Properly cite the reliable sources you used. (Note: a reliable source is something like a reputable college, university, field expert, textbook, etc. someone who knows what they’re talking about; not just any John Doe off the street!)

Coded Hints: For each discussion topic, I will also provide some hints. These hints are general but should definitely point you in the right direction of the kind of answer I’m looking for. However, the catch is that they will be encoded. If you want to be able to access the hints, you will need to decode the hidden message. The code will be based on a cryptogram format whereby each letter in the coded message simply stands for some other letter of the alphabet. Look for patterns and use a pencil / Eraser. Example:
