DISCUSSION QUESTION

QUESTION :- You are expected to
actively participate in on-line conversations on the Blackboard discussion

board for this class. Discussion Board will be judged based
on your ability to initiate and or

contribute to the sociological conversation. Discussion
Board participation is graded based on

the following criteria:

1) You are required to write a minimum of 16 posts touching
on materials from Sociology

Project 2.5 across the duration of the term.

2) You are required to write at least 4 posts on topics
taken up in the documentary

Inequality for All.

3) Other topics (like current events) are welcome and
encouraged so long as they are

developed and dealt with in a sociological manner. Almost
any topic can be approached

from a sociological perspective.

4) Students should write a minimum of two post per calendar
week. Students must write 20

posts (minimum) over the course of the term (not including
introductions and short one

liners). Short statements of agreement are allowed but do
not count towards your gradeable contributions. Weeks start on Monday and end
Sunday evening at midnight.

5) Consistent posting across the duration of the term is
required – cramming posts in at the

beginning or end of the term will result in losing points
for this portion of the class.

6) Posts should be at least 200 words in length, and must
have spelling, grammar and

formatting consistent with college-level writing.

7) Contributions to the discussion board should be informed
by any of the perspectives of

empirical evidence and logical argument deployed in the
social sciences.

8) Demonstrate your sociological understanding of the
topic(s) under discussion. Use

vocabulary and concepts you have learned in the class in
your posts.

9) Differing values, ethical outlooks and political
perspectives are welcome. However, this

class operates on the expectation that students use logic
and empirical evidence to

support their perspective. Addressing the causes and effects
of different social

phenomena is more valuable than virtue signaling on the
discussion board.

10) Current events and contemporary examples are allowed but
be sure to be sociological in

your approach and emphasize cause-effect, empirical trends
(not isolated cases) and

comparisons between places/circumstances and across time.
