News Articles

Question 1

For Weeks 1-3, you should have a 2 page journal entry each week (6 pages in total) that reflects your understanding and opinion on the text chapter, cases covered, in-class presentations and activities.

-What text chapter means is reading the chapter assigned for that week and taking notes. For example, Week 1 was chapter 1, week 2 was chapter 2, and week 3 was chapter 3.

-Cases covered is on the syllabus, writing about the week’s case a bit could be good.

-presentations and activities are listed in the syllabus and can also be found in the Course Content Folder, with the course’s materials and whatnot.

-Outside research or references to relevant news articles will enhance each journal’s grade. ( please see the syllabus for more details).

Question 2

you briefly state the main idea of the written piece and then respond to it critically with your ideas of agreement, disagreements, where you think you learned something new, where your ideas were challenged, informed, corrected etc. You can discuss how you think the writer gets it right, where you think he or she falls short etc. A good quality response will usually be two thirds of a page or more. Stick with one page maximum. Anything that looks like a short paragraph or less is not an entry that demonstrates adequate or good engagement.
