Please upload a 1-2 paragraph response to the week’s narrated
PowerPoints/lectures.
Your response should address one or more of the following questions: What
did you learn from this set of narrated PowerPoints? How are some of the
topics they discuss related to class themes, either for a particular week or
overall? How are they related to class readings for that week, or for a prior
week? What surprised you? What questions do you have as a result of
viewing these narrated PowerPoints? In addition, be ready to ask your
questions and discuss some of the answers during our Tuesday online
discussions.
Your written responses are due on the Wednesday following our Tuesday
online classes. But ideally you should aim to submit them prior to class so
that you are ready to contribute your thoughts and questions to our class
discussions. These brief weekly responses will not be graded separately, but
cumulatively they will be part of your overall class participation grade. Feel
free to share some of your ideas via Canvas Discussions threads as well.
