Description: The purpose of this assignment is for you to illustrate your engagement with assigned readings, films, podcasts. Additionally, it prepares you to have talking points ready when we are discussing the material in class. Discussion posts are not merely summaries of the assigned course materials. Rather, they should be used to critically engage with questions, debates, dilemmas, arguments posed by the authors, and how they influence your thinking.
Your post should be 800-1000 words in length (no more than 2 single-space pages). Your post should be thoughtful and should reflect critical engagement with the material. You will lose points on your discussion post grade if it is clear to me that you did not read. In other words, though I want you to connect material to your own personal and professional life, you should make sure that you are clearly articulating points from at least FOUR of the assigned materials in your post, and making critical connections between the material. Each discussion post is worth 5 points and is due the Thursday, a week before class by midnight for classes 2-5 (total of 4 posts).
