Hey class,
Week 3 discussion posts looked better than last week on the average. It was good to see the enthusiasm a lot of students put into their discussion, and it's clear the majority of you really endeavored to learn something new from the assignment. Still a couple technical details to clear up:
- When you're asked to discuss the most confusing aspects of the article, this is not an opportunity to critique the author's writing style. Even if there are grammatical errors in the text, that's not what you should be focusing on. We want you to pick out a certain concept or detail that confused you or made you think, "hmm. I want to know more about this," and then describe how you could have understood it better.
- Week Specific Question: a number of you are still not making it clear what part of your discussion responds to the week specific question. Be sure to look at this each week and answer it with specific details or examples from your chosen articles.
Overall, everybody is doing a great job finding articles and contributing interesting ideas to the discussion.
Keep up the good work!
~Mitch and Taylor
