FIRST WEEK INSTRUCTOR COMMENT

PLEASE READ AND MAKE CHANGES ACCORDINGLY FOR DISCUSSION THIS WEEK

It’s just great to meet you, and thanks so much for your work in the first discussion thread of the course. I appreciate the breadth of your responses as well — it’s always beneficial to include and citation course information, which greatly enhances your posts. So, as the weeks’ progress, remember to include a citation within your initial response, which adds authority and influence to your overall thoughts. I encourage you to get the questions started ‘early’ with a substantive post, then check back and see if anyone added some great thoughts to your initial thought. In all, it was a pleasure to read your work.

I am so appreciative of your work in the first week, which is often the most daunting. Responses were clearly written with few grammatical and/or spelling errors. One quick suggestion is to try and utilize words that are complex. This is just a suggestion I give nearly every student as just a reminder. An easy way to do this is to use the Thesaurus tool in Microsoft Word. It allows everyone to expand their vocabulary (even me) and it showcases a higher level of learning and intelligence to your audience and thus adds to your overall influence in the threads. I can’t wait to see your continued grand participation in the coming weeks. Include your insightful perception and opinion and ensure that there is some supporting information or research to support your key points. This adds great validity to your overall argument. Cheers to you!
