GEN 499 Week 1 Discussion 1

Week 1 – Discussion

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses.

 

Purpose   of General Education

Prepare: As you prepare to write your answer to the discussion   question, think about the general education courses that you have taken as a   university student. To help you address the prompts, carefully read the Week   One required resources that address the purpose of general education courses.

Reflect: After reviewing the required resources, and in light of   what you discovered in preparing to write your answer to the discussion   question, consider, analyze, and explain why general education courses should   be a significant part of every student’s education.

Write: For this discussion, address the following prompts: 

• Provide at least three reasons why every student        should be required to take general education courses. Explain your        rationale. Support your rationale with evidence from at least one        scholarly source.
• Describe what you have learned from at least three        specific courses (e.g., philosophy, history, English, math, psychology,        etc.) that has proved its usefulness in your daily life. For instance,        what did you learn in history classes beyond just names, dates, and        places? In literature courses, what did you learn about life, the        university, and everything beyond the literary work itself? 

Your initial post should be at   least 250 words in length, which should include a thorough response to   each prompt. You are required to provide in-text citations of applicable   required reading materials and/or any other outside sources you use to   support your claims. Provide full reference information of all sources cited   at the end of your response. Please use correct APA format when writing in-text citations  and references.

Respond to Peers: Review your classmates’ posts, and respond to at least   two of your peers by Day 7. Compare and contrast your reasons why general   education courses are important with that of your peers’ reasons and   rationale. Each participation post should be a minimum of 75 words.

Carefully review the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate this Discussion   Thread.
