Review
Review this week’s resources in preparation for the discussion.
Respond
Describe a positive learning experience from your life (i.e., previous college, work training, church lesson, etc.)
- How did that learning impact you?
- What are your hopes, opportunities, challenges, or fears in relation to this new learning endeavor at LAPU?
Discuss
Post a minimum of two substantive responses to your colleagues. Responses should demonstrate active participation in academic discourse about texts and/or resources, connect relevant experience and academic knowledge, and communicate meaning with clarity and fluency. Responses could include suggestions for further resources, questions of clarification, or providing context and insight. Avoid simple posts of agreement; if you agree, explain why, and then thoughtfully further the conversation.
