DISCUSSION BOARD INSTRUCTIONS
1. Post Requirements:
• Each post should be well-developed, well-organized, and well-formatted, and free of writing errors. The post should demonstrate that
you have truly mastered the concepts and readings involved, and that you can apply them to a real-world policy issue. These posts will feed
into Assignment #1 and #2, so take time to develop them with adequate thought and reflection.
o Posts are generally from 400-500 words, though there is no word count requirement per se.
The forums have a “post first” requirement, which means you won’t see your classmates’ posts until you have posted.
2. Critique Requirements:
• Go in and critique a peer’s post (preferably one that hasn’t received a critique yet). Post as a thread to the peer’s original post.
o Considering the requirements of the assignment,
tell your peer what they did well and what needs improvement (pretend you are a nice teacher).
The critiques should be well-developed, thorough, and thoughtful (these typically range around 200 words, though going over or under is fine–
no word count requirement here). No response to the critique is required, but is encouraged if your response will further understanding
The post set will be graded after the critiques are in. Late posts/critiques will not be graded.
