Overview
Below, you will see the articles that are tied to each Module/Chapter.
You will be required to read at least 8 different Articles and make 8 postings in Discussions Section for the Articles you choose. This work generates 5% of the overall grade.
You will choose 4 different articles to read and make an original comment (read and write about YOUR opinion on the article read).
You will choose 4 different articles to read (different than the 4 first ones) and you will comment on the comment that another student has made.
This totals 8 articles that will add up to 5% of your grade.
You have the duration of this course to do this. There will be no late submission periods and this will only appear on your Canvas grade book after the due date has passed. I need to correct this by hand so please allow me some time to do this.
