Each week post a question for discussion based on the content of the course assigned for that week that interests you. Respond to two questions or posts from other students. If your question generates a threaded discussion, you get extra points for the assignment.
The questions should be well-written, open-ended or an opinion question, not a factual question. These questions will be different from game questions as there is not a single, right answer to the question. In other words, the question should be arguable.
Your post should first include a direct quote from the reading with proper APA7 citation. For help with proper citation for our multi-touch DBRG 200 book, click here (Links to an external site.).
Your question should utilize the Good Thinker’s Toolkit in formulating your question. The Good Thinker’s Toolkit uses the following question forms developed by Dr. Thomas Jackson, PhD affiliated with p4cHawaii:
W = What do you mean? Ex: What does Socrates mean by the word principle when talks about the principle in us that “is improved by justice and deteriorated by injustice” (Jowett, ca. 360 B.C.E/2018, p. 162)?
R= Reasons? Ex: Crito tells Socrates, “…do not on that account hesitate about making your escape,” (Jowett, ca. 360 B.C.E./2018, p. 160). What other reasons could Crito have given Socrates to convince him to escape?
A= Assumptions? Ex: What assumptions does Mary Daly make when she gives the following statement: “As long as the myth of feminine evil is allowed to dominate human consciousness and social arrangements, it provides the setting for women’s victimization, by both men and women,” (Daly 1973, p. 103)?
I = Inferences/Implications
T = is it True?
E = Examples/Evidence
C = Counterexamples
