Synthesis Posts

Read the synthesis post instruction and example. In each synthesis post, you must quote and respond to at least two reading posts by your classmates that have come in since the prior synthesis post. Whenever quoting a passage from another post, do not include the whole original message in your post: always cut everything except the passage you want to quote. You should also quote from the readings from the prior week at least once, and the quotation should not be the same as one that your peers whom you have quoted took for their reading posts. Your goal is to make use of the class lectures and discussions to answer questions and respond to points people had made in their reading posts whether that means building on their ideas to support your own, slightly modifying the original idea, or rebutting it and to draw some tentative conclusions. Synthesis posts should be between 425 and 475 words long, not including quotations, (in other words, at the end of the day). Again, excessive length is a detriment, not a sign of superior effort. Don’t write over 475 words.
