Provide a brief one-paragraph summary of your final project proposal, and then post 2-3 substantial questions for the group relating to the current draft of your final project proposal.
The brief summary is intended to give your peers a quick snapshot of your proposal, so that they can be most helpful in addressing your questions, so ensure that it is clear and comprehensive.
Substantial questions are ones that require your peers to think critically and respond thoughtfully. Avoid questions with simple yes/no answers, questions about assignment parameters, etc.
Keep in mind that this is a chance to get direct feedback, so think carefully about what questions are most useful to you at this stage in your writing process.
The following [below} are examples of possible question stems that you may use in this week’s Discussion Forum.
These structured question stems will allow you to both elicit feedback from your peers, (through questions about your project proposal); as well as, to respond to your classmates with specific, helpful, feedback:
