Description
Compose and Post: Select at least one other group mate’s
posting (try to choose postings that do not already have a response). You are
only required to respond to one person, but you can respond to multiple people
if you wish. Develop a thoughtful and unique response to this posting. Include
positive and respectful commentary that contributes to meaningful discussion.
Aim to be both factually correct and reflective. Did a classmate provide an
insight you hadn't considered until now? Perhaps someone used a personal
example that resonated with your own experience as an adult learner? Or are you
noticing some common themes or relationships?
Use references to the textbook or personal experience to support your
comments.
3. Post your assignment on the Discussion Board so your group
members can read it, and upload a copy of your posting to the Assignment 4
dropbox. Use both your name and the name of the person you responded to in the
title. This assignment will be graded in the dropbox.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this assignment, you should be able to:
1. Reflect on
various assumptions and models of adult learning as presented by your
classmates and synthesize your own learning with their views and experiences.
2. Extend your
present thinking about adult learning to include alternative ideas and new
understandings.
You will write a short (200-400 words, double spaced, 12 font, 1
margins) document, which includes an introduction and a conclusion. Create your
document in a word processing program (eg. Word), and use the word count tool
to calculate your assignment length. Provide citations in the text and
reference list at the end of your posting using APA (5th or 6th ed.) style. You will submit this assignment as a posting on the
discussion forum, by copying and pasting from your word processed document. In
addition you will upload this assignment to the assignment 4 dropbox for
grading. This assignment is worth 10% of your total grade. Please refer to the
rubric (marking guide) below along with the Learning Objectives.
