Subjective/Objective Language Discussion

First response due Wednesday (6/2) before 11:59pm CST and follow-up responses due before Friday (46/4) 11:59pm CST of Unit two

This task will require you to have access to a common, mundane object and a ruler that shows centimeters. Find either 1) Can Opener, 2) Lamp, 3) Cell phone, or 4) Electric toothbrush. Once you’ve found the object you’d like to work with,  you need to complete the following three responses. All three responses will be over the object you choose. So, if you choose a cell phone for Response/Reply 1, you will use the cell phone for 2 & 3.

Response/Reply 1 Due: Wednesday (6/2)

Directions

Locate the selected object in your home (if you picked “lamp,” then sit in front of a lamp to write the description).

Post a reply where you write a description of 100-150 words (fully describe the item in front of you using precise, objective language).

 Response/Reply 2 Due: Friday (6/4)

Directions

Read through several of your classmates’ responses to your chosen item and jot down the descriptive terms they used.

Use some of their terms along with yours from your first response to post a reply to yourself where you make a list of the subjective (opinion) and objective (literal, factual) description words in the thread. Use sub-headers or bullet point to organize your list.

 Response/Reply 3 Due: Friday (6/4)

Directions

Review the objective description words in your previous response.

Post a reply to yourself where you write out the arrangement of the objective details in a logical order (like from top to bottom or from left to right, depending on your chosen item).

SafeAssign Discussion

First post due Wednesday (6/9) before 11:59pm CST and follow-up posts due before Friday (6/11) 11:59pm CST of Unit three. Write a 100-word post and reply to two peers with responses of 50 words each. (Note: You can work ahead and write your first post earlier so that you have time later to respond to other peers)

For this discussion, you will review a sample SafeAssign report similar to what the coaches/instructors see with each assignment submission. Your task is to weigh whether or not Timothy Sunny engaged in an academic integrity violation based on the criteria of the UTA Honor Code and the assignment criteria.

Here is Timothy’s SafeAssign report: Timothy Sunny SafeAssign(3).pdf  download

“In your opinion, did Timothy Sunny’s work show an academic integrity violation? Why or why not? Defend your response with support.”

After you’ve posted your primary post, you will need to follow up with two different peers with separate responses, engaging with your peers on their posts.
