Have you ever tried to make this argument to friends or colleagues before? If
so, how successful or unsuccessful was your argument? If not, what do you think you
would need to do to persuade friends or colleagues to agree with your argument?
To earn full participation credit, you will need to respond substantively to at least two
peers’ initial Discussion posts and show active engagement in the discussion as
described in the grading rubric. These responses should stay on topic and generate
further discussion by asking questions, mentioning relevant examples, and if
possible, referencing concepts from the unit Learning Activities.
All Discussion posts and responses to peers should be written in complete sentences
using Standard American English. Before posting, proofread for grammar, spelling,
and word-choice issues. Be sure to respond fully to every aspect of the Discussion.
When you refer to concepts from the unit’s Learning Activities, be sure to use a signal
phrase like “According to . . .[name of reading].” If you are directly quoting the
Learning Activities or another source, be sure to use quotation marks and cite the
source using proper APA in-text citations and full references.
