BI 214 Week 8 Discussion 1 | Assignment Help | Park University
Unit 8: Discussion 1
The two topics that
you are dealing with are two highly emotionally charged subjects.
Obviously it is impossible to cover these topics sufficiently in just one
unit. Hopefully the readings, questions, and homework will provide you
with a basis of knowledge upon which you can expand.
You are required to
post your initial answers morning; your comments on the postings of your
classmates are due on Sunday at midnight. Please be sure that your
comments to peers are substantive; do not simply write "I disagree";
if you disagree, go on to explain your comment and add your own insights. All
initial and follow-up responses require research and appropriate citations. You
should have a minimum of two postings (one initial and one/more follow-up
response/s) for each thread.
The following rubric
will be used to score your discussion postings:
|
0-3
points |
Only
minimal response given with no elaboration OR failed to complete follow-up
postings |
|
4-7
points |
Basic
response and follow-up posting; all were clear and relevant, but needed more
detail. |
|
8-10
points |
All
responses were elaborated, clear, and detailed; complete responses and
follow-up postings. |
