WRITING A GOOD DISCUSSION BOARD POST
There are several key steps that youâll need to follow in order to write a complete and engaging
discussion board post. For every discussion post, you need to:
1. UNDERSTAND what the discussion is asking you to do
2. READ all required or supplemental materials
3. WRITE the post, and
4. REVIEW using the Discussion Post Checklist
Now, letâs go through each of these important steps in more detail.
First, break down the instructions of the discussion and take notes to understand exactly
what you need to do to complete it.
a. Identify the purpose or goal of the discussion post and how it relates to the course concepts
under review for the week.
b. Be sure to note any required course reading, such as the instructor guidance, chapters from
your textbook, or an article or webpage.
c. Look for key terms in the instructionsâthese are terms or course concepts that you will see in
the reading for the week, or that you have become familiar with in earlier weeks of the course. Be
sure to underline, highlight, or note these key words, as these are the themes that you will focus
on in your discussion post this week.
d. Make note of any key questions or directives that you are asked to address. If these
questions/directives are already in a bulleted or numbered list, great! But if they are not, go ahead
and number them so you can later use them as a checklist for yourself.
*Note- Directives are action verbs in the instructions that tell you what to do. Examples that you
might see include Define, Explain, Describe, or Discuss. The Writing Centerâs guide on
Understanding the Verbs in Your Prompt can help you understand the expectations of each of
these directive words.
e. Note any additional requirements such as word count or APA formatting.
f. Finally, if a grading rubric is provided, be sure to review each part of it. The rubric can be used
as a checklist to ensure you have completed each of the requirements of the discussion.
This may sound like a lot of work now, but it actually only takes 10 to 15 minutes to go through the
instructions and make notes on what needs to be accomplished. These few minutes will save you time
when you begin writing and will help you to write a better post.

Higher Education for the Twenty-First Century: Re-designing Student Success
For essay #3, perform a significant revision to last unit's essay. Revise your work by doing the following:
⢠Include at least two additional outside perspectives on the future of higher education. (You will discover these outside perspectives by conducting
library research, and you will include them via quotation, paraphrase, and/or summary, which we will practice in this unit's discussion.)
⢠Argue for specific recommendations about how higher education could be re-designed for the students of the twenty-first century.
As you revise last unit's essays to meet these new goals, you may also expand, edit, restructure, and delete from your second essay, in order to make a
clear, effective argument about how to adjust college education for today's students. This unit's essay should not merely be last unit's with a few new
paragraphs tacked on, but should be a re-envisioned essay.
You might begin by designing a working thesis about how higher education needs to change. Then, begin researching what other writers have said
already about your ideas. Start with an search on your subject using the Park University McAfee Memorial Libraryâs Pirate Search feature
(http://www.park.edu/library/) , but also consider consulting Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com) . We will spend time this unit discussing and
analyzing sources together.
Think about what you would like to teach your readers about how higher education should change. Consider making precise, practical
recommendations. Be sure to provide explicit reasoning, and describe the implications of your ideas for today's college students of history. Make sure
that every paragraph of Essay #3 points your readers toward your particular focus and argument.
Some of you may find it possible to use some material from essay #2, and others will simply use essay #2 as a launching off point. Either way, I will be
looking for a revised thesis, enhanced supporting arguments, incorporation of new research, etc. Remember the difference between revision and
editing; this is a revision project, not an exercise in editing essay #2. In short, although you will use essay #2 as a basis, essay #3 should be a significant
re-envisioning, with a revised thesis and development. Essay #3 should have a new title to reflect this revised content.
Please craft a short description (this can be in bulleted list form if you would like) of the changes and transformations you made in revising essay #2 to
create essay #3. Submit this description as either a second file or as a new page (after Works Cited) at the end of your essay #3 file. Failure to submit
this required information will result in a letter grade deduction from essay #3.

These guidelines are meant to help you improve your rough draft from Week 4 into your final draft.
In Week 4, you used a worksheet to review the writing process and walk you through creating a rough draft of your reflection paper. Now itâs time to revise and finalize your paper. Make sure to use the guidelines below and any feedback from your instructor.
Due Date: Day 7 of Week 6
Length: 3-5 pages, double-spaced
Goal: Using AWE and the Undergraduate Template
Start by Reviewing the Undergraduate Writing Template File found in the Week 4 or Week 6 Learning Resources.

Are there any additional comments or examples you want to add from Weeks 5 and 6? How about the journal entry or the final picture of all your Smarter Measure self-assessments? Consider the Week 5 discussion and assignments.
Lastly, consider the overall course themes and ideas: being human in our virtual world while living and learning in a technological world which relates to finding your identity in a virtual space, tool using animals, balancing life and your time, learning styles and strategies, perspectives on reality, important vs. essential technology, connecting and disconnecting online, and social change.

It is the most important step because this is when you take a deeper look at the organization and coherence of your paper. In the drafting process, you look at the effectiveness of the ideas, organization and coherence of the paper, and the supportive analysis of ideas. This is an active process. You might move a word or two, change a sentence, or even rearrange an entire paragraph. You might even move a paragraph to another place in the body of the paper.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Operation âBlue Starâ is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Making notes when reading
Why annotate?
Short term:
⢠Highlighting, underlining, jotting and drawing on a text can help
you prepare for more organised notes later.
⢠Your notes can be seen as time travellers, time capsules,
or âreverse archaeologyâ: They will help future-you
find what they need later, without having to read the
whole text all over again. You are now leaving
breadcrumbs for your future-self to find.
Long term:
⢠Deep engagement with a text is one of the best ways to improve
reading, comprehension and writing!
⢠Develops your ability to interpret academic text.
⢠Active reading also develops your critical thinking.

organising your notes, so that you have overall clarity and wonât
need to âdecipher; your own notes later â before you forget what
they meant.
⢠You can include:
⢠What was the study about?
⢠How was it conducted & what did it find?
⢠What was particularly new/interesting?
⢠What might be useful here?
⢠Your own insights, ideas, comments or questions
⢠Things to look up or explore more
We suggest you aim for 50-150 words per item.
14. Annotated bibliography
sheffield.ac.uk/international-college
14
Why write an annotated bibliography?
⢠To show that you can identify and evaluate the literature
underpinning a research problem;
⢠To develop skills in discerning the most relevant research studies
from those which have only superficial relevance to your topic;
⢠To be thoroughly engaged with individual sources in order to
strengthen your analytical skills;
⢠To practice paraphrasing (not re-phrasing!) and finding your own
ideas and articulations;
⢠To organise your thoughts and lay the foundations for your work.
15. Annotated bibliography
sheffield.ac.uk/international-college
15
How to write it
For each source, put the full APA reference,
followed by 50-150 words, typically
formatted as a single paragraph.
Notes can be:
⢠Descriptive = Summarising key information arguments,
methods and findings;
⢠Evaluative = assessing how good the arguments and
methods are;
⢠Reflective (considering the relevance of the sources to
your project);
or a combination of them.
16. Formative Assessment this weekend

1. Upload an annotated bibliography to the folder you
shared with your tutor.
2. The document must include:
a) The topic you chose + 1-2 sentences on why you
chose it.
b) Your writing plan (with deadlines) for producing
Essay 1. (max. 1 page, could be much less)
c) A minimum of 5 annotated, relevant items for your essay:
full APA reference followed by 50-150 of your own
annotations per item.
A description/summary of the text is a minimum, but a strong
annotation also includes evaluation and/or reflection (points,
thought, problems and ideas you want to remember, or to use in
your study). The notes can be informal. If you have many sources,
try to put them into groups under headers.
3. If possible, upload the reading (or links) you read to that folder.
This could help your tutor support you in evaluating the
sources.
Feedback will be provided in week 5 tutorials.
