Week 1: Introduction ForumForum prompt
Part One: Please introduce yourself to the class.
Part Two: Tell us about your practical writing experiences. Have you taken writing course before? Here, or at another school? Do you write for your job? For pleasure? What are your biggest concerns about this course, and what elements of your own writing would you like to work on over the next few weeks?
Due to the chaotic nature of Week 1, it is not required to post before Wednesday midnight nor is it required to post on three different days. However, the rest of the rubric requirements still apply.
As stated in the rubric attached to each forum under “Full Description,” one initial post of approximately 250 words and two peer responses of 150 words each (following the parameters of originality, content, relevance, advancement of forum, etc.) correspond to a C grade.
A fourth forum response that meets the above standards will earn an additional 12 points, bringing that week’s forum grade to a B. A fifth forum response that meets the above standards will earn an additional 12 points, bringing that week’s forum grade to an A.

This Introduction Forum must be submitted the first week of the course, by 11:55 p.m., ET, on Sunday to maintain your registration in the course.
