undefined
- Develop a learning community with fellow students and the professor.

The
purpose of this discussion postings is for students to read the college
Graduate School Dissertation Handbook, synthesize the information, and
then critically think and share the information with other students using their own words.
Initial Posting (Saturday):
The assignment requires students to read the week’s assigned reading
requirements (Graduate School Dissertation Handbook), then post a
summary of four (4) interesting facts that they learned from the reading
of “each” assigned reading using their own words by the Saturday due date. Direct quotes are not acceptable.
undefined
The
initial postings must be substantively provided with a minimum of four
paragraphs – one paragraph for each interesting fact from each assigned
reading. Each paragraph must contain a minimum of three (3) robust
sentences. CAUTION: It is not appropriate to make postings like “I found
the information on XXXX to be interesting” as this is not a substantive
posting. The postings must be provided informing the reader that you
understand the interesting facts you are posting – as if you are
teaching the reader about the interesting fact. Remember that these
postings must be in your own words.
undefined
Response Postings to a Minimum of Four (4) Other Students (Sunday): Then by the Sunday due date,
read and provide a substantive response posting to a minimum of four
(4) other students. These response postings to other students must be
substantive with a minimum of two (2) paragraphs (minimum of three (3)
sentences per paragraph). Remember that these response postings must be
in your own words. Please see the Course Syllabus for specific due
dates.
