Tackling Discussion Posts

Ah, another week, another set of readings AND discussion posts to tackle. If you’ve ever felt this way, this post is for you. I have some ideas on how to tackle this challenge with less stress and more success. See what I did there.Start with ReviewingBefore diving into the weekly readings, check out your course’s weekly overview and the focus of the weekly discussion post. From there, copy and paste the discussion post questions into a separate document. I use Microsoft Word but use what you prefer. This way, you have a document set up with everything ready to go before you begin reading.Read with PurposeIt’s time to roll up your eyelids and begin your weekly readings. As you read, keep an eye out for anything that connects to the discussion questions. It could be directly related or through broader concepts. Jot those down under the appropriate discussion question in your prepared document. Don’t forget to add your citation and page number!Weave it TogetherOnce you’ve finished with your readings and you’ve gathered the relevant information needed to create your post, it’s time for the fun part: weaving everything together. Review everything you’ve collected and craft your response in your own voice utilizing the collected information, and don’t forget to cite your sources as you go. It’s important to give credit where it’s due, but it also shows that you’re engaging with the material.ReflectDiscussion posts may seem like a lot of work at times, but they’re your chance to explore ideas, ask questions, and connect with your classmates and instructors. Spend time reflecting on the class material and your discussion post. Check out our Discussion Post tip sheet for additional tips.AND If you ever feel stuck or need a bit of extra help, the Student Learning Center is there for you.Here's our info to get in touch:Email: learning@rmcad.edu Schedule: rmcad.mywconline.com...

Triboro Mural

Welcome to the second installment of “The Triboro 102 Mural” featured in the Learning Commons Blog. Over the next 3 months I will be writing once a week about the journey of this mural going up in, you guessed it, Triboro Room 102, in Fall 2024. If you missed the first installation of this blog please go to Archives. Together, Zuzana Tothova, or Zu, SLC coordinator Katharine Novak, fellow Art Education students Abel Miller and Mae Rogers, along with Graphic Design student Victoria Majchrowski started the research that the team agreed needed to be included in the mural. “We knew that we wanted to incorporate, what we saw as, the three stages of the land the campus sits on, the beautiful sprawling land when the Ute people and other tribes lived here, the time the campus was home to the Jewish Consumptives Relief Society and, of course, the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design that now sits on that land.” -Katharine Novak All citations for photo inspiration can be found in the official documents in the 360 Thinkers club folder. If interested please contact Zuzana Tothova. It was also very important to Dr. Black that the mural tells the stories of the many strong and passionate women that are involved in those three eras. The first, and main focus, being Bessie Marold. Stay tuned for next month's blog for this series on October 28th 2024!...
