READER RESPONSE GUIDELINES
As part of your course activities, you are to write a reader response for selected reading assignments and post these to Ulearn by the scheduled due date. These responses should say something meaningful about what you have read and answer the question posed in the assignment instructions on the course schedule. These should be a min. of 300 words (but can be more) unless otherwise instructed by course schedule.
CONTENT
The ideas found in your response must be your own. You may not use outside sources. Plagiarism is a serious academic offense. See the course syllabus.
The content of your reader response is directed and should answer the question posed by doing each of the following:
1.
Discuss ideas found in the selection only (no veering off topic onto personal examples or experiences). Keep in mind that in this response you are forming a brief argument in response to the question posed by the prompt. You must support this argument with quotes from the text under discussion.
