Week 5 Critical Thinking Reflection Help
There are 2 parts to this 15-Point assignment.
In the first part (6 Points), you are required to address one of the three options.
· how can we reduce poverty in the United States?
· or, will receiving a college degree improve your career opportunities?
· or, has the United States peaked as a world power?
This is clearly going to be a summary of your approach, as we can’t solve any of these problems in 300 to 500 words! While you are basically providing your viewpoint, you need to demonstrate how critical thinking has lead you to this conclusion.
In the second part (6 Points), you are required to address each of the three questions (1.5 Point each).
· Which critical thinking principles did you apply to your response?
· How can you use critical thinking in other areas?
· What steps can you take to ensure that you continue to use critical thinking in the future?
Don’t get so caught up in the first part that you forget to answer these!
HINT: Use a heading for each question so that I clearly understand what question you are referring to!
The third part of your assignment is writing mechanics (3 Point). I will grade your essay based on the number of mistakes per 100 words (1.5 Point). I calculate the number of mistakes per 100 words, and then divide that number by 20 to establish the deduction. I do not deduct more than 0.5 points. For example, if you make 3.2 errors per 100 words, I will deduct 0.16 points (3.2/20).
I also grade APA elements, as described in the rubric (1.5 Point):
Your assignment is in line with the following APA requirements that you will be required to follow:
-All margins should be set to 1"
-Paragraphs begin with a 1/2" indent
-Your paper should be double spaced
-All text should be the same font/style
NOTE:If I detect large sections of copied or paraphrased text without proper citations and references, I will file charges of Academic Dishonesty. This can result in an F grade for the class, plus a 6 month suspension, or expulsion. The price is way too high!

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and
you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates.
Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and
the depth of your responses. Reference the Discussion Forum
Grading Rubric for guidance on how your discussion will be
evaluated.
A Note about Earning Full Credit on Discussions:
As you participate in discussions throughout this course,
remember that your responses must be considered substantive to
be awarded full credit. A quality, substantive response, must
meet several criteria in order to be considered for full credit.
The criteria include: length, content, relevance, proper grammar
and punctuation. Your responses should add new information to
the conversation (instructors and classmates do not want to read
the same thing over and over), use class vocabulary, use proper
APA format, clearly cite the source of information that you use,
be free of major grammatical errors, and be coherent (easily and
quickly understood and without contradictions). Substantive
9. responses should not be based solely on opinion, but should
reflect the content of the reading assignment for the current
lesson. It is also appropriate to include personal
experience/examples and/or information from outside sources
that support the content from the assigned reading. A
substantive post to an online discussion forum will almost
always be more than one or two sentences, will contain new
information or will ask questions that will continue the
discussion. Short statements like "I agree" or "good work" are
not considered to be substantive and will not receive full credit.
Amazing Blood Facts
By Day 1of Week One, your instructor will assign students to
specific statements. The focus of our discussion this week is the
associated anatomy and physiology of the following statements.
In your own words, answer the associated questions with your
assigned statement.
Your initial post must be a minimum of 250 to 300 words. In
addition to the textbook, utilize a minimum of two scholarly
sources to support your points. Cite and reference your sources
in APA format as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Guided Response: You are required to post an initial response
to the discussion by Day 3; then, respond to at least two of your
classmates’ initial posts by Day 7. You are required to make
your posts (one initial and two responses) on three separate
days of the week.
· Comment on at least two things your peer(s) posted that you
didn’t know before today.
· What does this post make you want to research further?
· How do you think the information in any of the statements was
10. determined?
