Overall, posts look pretty good. I've done a preliminary "grade" of the first discussion question this week. I would ask that you review the feedback I provided. You can fix your posts this week if you'd like to bring them in line with expectations. In some cases, it may seem harsh, but I'm hoping to head off issues before they start. Your discussions in this PhD course are not busy work or after thoughts. They are a significant portion of your grade (35% of it). The academic expectations of a PhD holder is that you can adequately articulate and defend a position. You are no longer parroting what others state, you are providing original thoughts and supporting those thoughts with your research each week. Here are some problems that I commonly see in Discussion threads that result in lowered grades:
1. Adding non-relevant points to a response. Adding points to other students posts where I can't determine that you actually read the post, or your response is appropo of nothing the other learner said. Your responses to others need to be a critical review of their post - not just adding your points to it. Remember that I do check their posts as well to ensure your response is on target.
2. Running content through translators. Often this is done to evade plagiarism checkers. The problem with this, though, is that the translators make a mess of the content - in some cases, making it completely nonsensical. No points for posts with grammatical issues to the extent that nonsense sentences are present in the response. I recommend using Grammarly (I think the college libary has a link to it) to check your grammar before posting.
3. Content that is too long. Often I find that students tend to create very long posts if they aren't certain how best to answer a question. I don't need a thesis with each response. I need you to stay focused, stay on topic, answer the question, and support it with your sources.
4. Not using the textbook. I can tell you right now that you can't pass this course if you don't have the textbook. Get it and use it to inform yourself. Almost every single question in the forums can be answered from the textbook, however I do appreciate the external sources. You will also need the text for your quizzes.
5. Either not citing your source, or citing sources you didn't use in the response. No points. This is especially important on your final paper. Remember that, automatically, if you copy content in from a source (even ones run through a translator), no points for the entire forum plus it becomes a writeup to the Dean so his office can track it across the program. There is no room in a PhD program for a cheat.
Make certain, too, that you post in the forum comments and not as an attachment. These posts were so good that I want to ensure everyone has an opportunity to view them!!! I will update the grading (and grade the other forums) later in the week.
