The response posting (250-300 words) must be separate responses meaning that each student will respond to either the longer analytical postings or a response posting of another student – and should focus upon the following:
1: Points of similarity OR differences in your understanding of the material in conjunction with that of the post you are responding to. This is especially relevant when multiple podcasts are assigned for that week.
2: Identifying strong points, facts, and arguments in your classmate’s analytical posting that you consider helpful in justifying this particular analysis.
Please note however, that it is NOT your job to evaluate each other’s analyses, so please refrain from judging the merits of postings that are not yours.
