As I said last week, post at least 2 (on at least 2 different days) responses to Dinner Conversation 3.  My goal is for you to take part in the DC on TWO different days and to post at least one message EACH day. This can be a Reply to MY question or a Reply to another STUDENTS' response. So the total MINIMUM is 2 postings on TWO different days. These postings should show that you have a good understanding of the assigned reading of the question I ask. You don't have to respond to all of the threads if you don't feel you have anything to add. You can also choose to respond more often.

III. Unit 3 Study Questions ( 15 points, DUE 11:55 pm, Saturday) Preparation Questions

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please be certain to check the scoring of each question once quiz results are available. I think the best questions for learning as those that require written answers rather than multiple choice and I don't think that it's a good use of my time to score each of them by hand. I'd rather spend my time interacting with you and continuing to develop ways to keep this class clear, thought-provoking, interesting and fun. I try to think of every possible correct answer students will write, but I don't think of them all. So if the computer scores an answer incorrect and you think it's correct, be certain to let me know.
