COM 126 Week 5 Discussion: Discussion Board
This discussion is an opportunity to compare two different informative speeches. Each has its pros and cons.
In your initial post please explain –
Be sure to check out the rubric first so you fully understand the requirements necessary to earn a full-credit post.
In your responses make sure you question your classmates’ ideas and expand on points they make in order to build an academic conversation with the discussion board.
It is recommended in this course, that students construct their initial posts and responses using the Canvas video feature (or YouTube upload). Please make sure you speak clearly and have a well-formulated post or response before recording. It is NOT required that you post your initial repsonse as a video, text submissions are acceptable. Replies to classmates can be done as text also.
Discussions play an integral role in monitoring your course participation throughout the term. You should check back to the weekly discussions multiple times throughout the week to engage in the discussion with your professor and peers. Participation is only counted during the week in which this discussion is assigned. Be sure to appropriately cite any sources you use to support your responses with standard APA citations. Answer the prompt question(s) thoroughly, using at least 150-200 words, and respond to as many of your peers as possible. Note that responses to 2 of your peers are required for full credit. Be sure to answer any additional questions asked by your professor in the discussion threads. Your initial post is due by Day 3 of the current week, and follow up posts to your peers are due on Day 7!
