Employment agreement discussion board assignment

Pay special attention to:

Purpose: What question or required reading are you being asked to respond to?
Particulars: What is the word limit? When is the due date and time? What sources are you expected to draw on?
Response type: Are you being asked to reflect on personal experience, determine a solution to a problem, compare two ideas, or make an argument?
Formatting: What formatting has your instructor requested? If no specific formatting is indicated, follow general APA guidelines.
Expectations: How will your discussion post be assessed? Consult your course materials or instructor.

Before beginning your post, make sure you have read all of the required readings with a critical eye.
Access your instructor's feedback on previous assignments. Based on that feedback, how do you want to improve in this next post?
After reading, spend some time jotting down your reactions, ideas, and responses to the reading.
Determine one-two of your strongest ideas, which you will structure your response around, by assessing the amount of evidence you have to support a particular assertion, response, or claim.
Logically piece together a rough outline of your evidence to make your claim both clear and persuasive.

Discussion post assignments often have multiple questions. Instead of answering each one in order, use a topic sentence to bring all points together into one central argument, claim, or purpose.
Use your evidence to build your response and persuade your readers by supporting your claim with course readings or outside sources (if permitted or required).
Make sure that each piece of evidence keeps your post focused, relevant, clear, and scholarly in tone.
Type in sentence case; in an online environment, ALL CAPS feels like yelling.
Make sure you have adequately cited all information or ideas from outside sources in your post and have added a full reference at the end.

After writing your post, review your ideas by asking yourself:

Is my main idea clear and relevant to the topic of discussion?
Does my response demonstrate evidence that I have read and thought critically about required readings?
Have I proposed a unique perspective that can be challenged by my classmates?
Do I support my claim with required readings or other credible outside sources?
Have I used a scholarly tone, avoiding jargon or language that is overly conversational?
Have I proofread my response for grammar, style, and structure?
