The initial posts can take the form of a question, a critique, or a further development of something the author(s) wrote. Make sure to write about at least one of the required readings. The posts should be at least one full paragraph in length but can be as long as required to develop the point.Writings that are too short to convey a point should be avoided. However, also too long-winded posts,simply to fill up space without clear argumentation, should also be avoided. Use as much space as needed to make your point come across. It is about quality, not quantity.
Professor will pay attention to the following:
– Did you understand the arguments/findings of the sources that you use, as reflected in your answer?
– Did you use multiple sources to back up your claims?- Multidisciplinary argumentation.
– Detailed and accurate information is drawn from a multitude of studies.
– Detailed and accurate links between psychological concepts/theories and researchevidence.
– How creative and novel is your idea/thought/viewpoint/argument. Novel insights are very much valued. Any clear evidence that your post has been steered/influenced by earlier posts of other students or other subjective arguments from the internet will negatively impact the evaluation.- Analytical thinking: connecting social scientific concepts, theory and real life.
– Proper academic English.- APA referencing.
– Use appropriate terminology and provide basic references.
– Flow of your writing. Jumping from topic to topic without a clear direction should be avoided
