Q Week 1 Critical Thinking Exercise due Here's what I want you to do: This week, you have read about using technology to be successful in college. Post 1: Using what you have read about this week, reflect on and answer the following questions in 150 words: 1. Review Exercise 6.2 in the textbook. Choose one of the four emails written by the students and identify which netiquette rule the student broke and why you believe that rule was broken. Be sure to identify which student wrote the email. 2. How would you describe your technology skills? If you haven’t had much experience with technology, how do you plan to increase your skills? If you have technology experience, how will you use your knowledge to your advantage in your college classes? Posts 2 + 3: Respond to two classmates and/or the professor. Your responses should be 100 words in length. They should continue the conversation. Statements like "good post" or "I agree" will not earn credit. Also, restating what your peer wrote will not earn credit. A manner to continue the conversation is to find an article and share what is of interest to you. Think of your responses in terms of a contribution to a dialogue, not a writing exercise or a chat room. Elaborate on a single idea and incorporate what you have learned from the weekly reading material and from your own real-world experiences. Here's why I want you to do it: This discussion activity requires you to reflect on the reading you have done this week and gives you a chance to summarize what you have learned and discuss key takeaways with your classmates and instructor. Here's how to do it: Refer to the textbook, weekly materials, and/or the GMC library when researching the topics for this Critical Thinking exercise. Put your writing into your own words, do not copy directly from the source. If you incorporate external resources (http://gmcga.libguides.com/periodicals) in your posts be sure to cite (http://gmcga.libguides.com/citationmanagement/mla) them properly. Lastly, review how to paraphrase and quote resources before you begin posting (http://gmcga.libguides.com/c.php?g=458&p=996448). Please review the Critical Thinking Exercise guidelines in the Course Syllabus to see how you will be graded. Your initial post should be made by the initial due date as indicated by the calendar at 11:55PM EST and you need to respond to two peers on two different days. Posts such as "I agree" or "Good job" will not be awarded any credit. The link for your textbook is located in the syllabus under materials. There is also information on the main page of the course. Please note that there is a 30 minute lag time between your initial post and when you can access your peers’ post. You could use that time to edit your own post and check closely for grammar and spelling errors AND make sure you cited all information correctly!
