For this assignment, your grade will be based on your:

  • Attention to the prompt: Be sure to respond to all parts of the prompt and questions given. Reference the prompt and questions in your response so your contribution to the discussion is clear to other students.
  • Inclusion of course materials: Engagement with the course materials is required, as is citation of sources. You must reference some part of the course material, either the textbook or the recorded lectures, but formal citation of these materials is not required. To cite the textbook, put the page number you’re referencing in parentheses at the end of the sentence, e.g.: (pg. 123). To cite a recorded lecture, use the title of the video and an approximate timestamp: (Lecture: Racism, 05:30). If you use outside sources, cite these properly and include a bibliography.
  • Word count and spelling/grammar/syntax: Your initial response to the prompt should be 300-500 words. Bibliography does not count towards word count. Proofread for spelling and grammar errors and edit for clarity.
