Welcome to Fall B!

Hey everyone! Welcome back! Here is a refresher about who we are! Martha (me) - I’m in charge.

Fall

The fog rolls inAnd I can feel the air again.It’s ruffled, and cold fabric wraps around my shouldersTo take me into the next season.Leaves turned to fire red, and their brothers and sistersSpread out on the pavement.Their tannins leave their stories for a short time beforeCrunch.

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...
