Welcome to Migrants and Refugees! We will be spending a lot of time working together over the semester. In an effort to build community within the virtual space of this class, for your first discussion post please start with a brief introduction telling us about you. You can include any other information you like, but please include:
Your major and your year of school
Your favorite pastime, TV show/film, or musical group
Why you wanted to take this class/what topic you are most excited about in learning this class
Next, consider the Ted Talks “The Danger of a Single Story.” Why do you think I asked students in this class to watch this video? How might the “danger of a single story” relate to the study of migration?
For each Daily Discussion, you will create one original post that includes a discussion question, and respond to one of your classmates’ posts/discussion questions with a response discussion post.
The original discussion post should be 450-600 words, and must include a discussion question about the readings or course content for that day. (For example for this discussion post you may want to ask a question about the Ted Talks “Danger of a Single Story” that you are to watch for today.) Keep in mind the best discussion questions will be:
Open-ended- Questions cannot be answered with yes/no or either/or
Answerable by your classmates- Questions do not require extensive knowledge from outside the course, and can be answered using knowledge/experience versus speculation
Substantive and relevant- Questions should be related to a significant point/argument in the course lesson or readings assigned for the day, and should ask us to consider the point/argument in the context of the themes of this course.
In addition, you will craft a response post that replies in a substantive manner to a discussion question posed by one of your classmates. The post should be at least 150 words.
The two discussion posts will be due by 11:59 pm each day. Discussion posts will be graded for originality, thoughtfulness, and grammar/organization. Out of the 30 points possible for each Discussion, the original post with a discussion question is worth a total of 20 points, and the response is worth a total of 10 points.
