Introduction

Discussion posts will be used in this course to allow you to state your ideas and also to see the ideas of your classmates.

"Our land is more valuable than your money. It will last forever. It will not even perish by the flames of fire. As long as the sun shines and the waters flow, this land will be here to give life to men and animals. We cannot sell the lives of men and animals. It was put here by the Great Spirit and we cannot sell it because it does not belong to us- Isapo-Muxika (Chief Crowfoot)

'There is an uneven flow of economic resources. A small privileged few are rich beyond conscience, and almost all others are doomed to be poor at some level. That's the way the system works. And since we know that the system will not change the rules, we are going to have to change the system.' - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Grading

Your discussion post and responses will be evaluated using the rubric below which is also attached to the discussion post. You will not receive a grade or feedback on the assignment folder however that is where you'll see the Turnitin score for your work.

Review exemplars of discussion posts so you can understand the depth and detail your post should include.

Academic Honesty Rules

In this course, Turnitin is enabled on Assignment folders. This means that Turnitin will run a Similarity Report and an AI Report on your submitted files and a score will be generated.
