Critical Thinking Discussions consist of two parts: Part $1$ is a response to the discussion prompt, Part $2$ is the feedback that you provide to others.

A good discussion response $($Part $1)$ will typically consist of two or more, well$-$crafted paragraphs. Information and facts supporting your argument should be cited. Part $1$ accounts for two$-$thirds of the points possible $(10$ pts$.)$ and are due by the Wednesday before the due date. Submitting responses by Wednesday provides others opportunity to review your perspective and post feedback before the due date. Late submissions will yield only partial credit.

Good feedback responses $($Part $2)$ will typically consist of one or more, well$-$crafted paragraphs. Information and facts supporting your argument should be cited. Part $2$ accounts for one third of the points possible $(5$ pts$.)$ and are due by the Friday due date. Two or more feedback responses are needed to score full points.
