  Discussion

As We Speak, So We Are.

We all know all kinds of things. However, to know things as a scholar one needs to reflect, analyze, and critique one's own knowledge and what one reads and hears from others. 

We learn a lot through communicating. 

When we articulate and express our ideas to others, we gain clarity about  what we believe and know. 

In hearing how others react to what we write and say, and learning from it, we gain  insight and can deepen and expand our knowledge.

So discussion is a very important part of learning. Therefore, discussion is a large part of your grade in this class.

Nobody likes a slacker. I will allow for shyness, but you need to make an effort to express your ideas and react to the statements of others. It is a very important part of the learning process.

Students will be graded on their participation in online discussion.
