Phi 103 week 5 dq 1

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. Reference the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

The   Virtues of Critical Thinkers

Before answering this week’s   discussion prompt, complete The Graduate interactive scenario. You will notice that there are   multiple arguments presented to influence your perspective on the issue   confronted in the scenario. You confront arguments every day. In our digital   age, however, they do not merely happen in face-to-face gatherings. Media and   social media are often used to convey arguments. What aspects of what you   have learned in this class apply to the analysis of such arguments? Keep   these considerations in mind as you complete this week’s discussion. 

Your instructor will choose the   discussion question and post it as the first post in the discussion forum.   The requirements for the discussion this week are a minimum of four posts on   four separate days, including responses to at least two classmates. The total   combined word count for all of your posts for this discussion, counted   together, should be at least 600 words. Answer all the questions in the   prompt, and read any resources that are required to complete the discussion   properly. 

In order to satisfy the posting requirements   for the week, complete your initial post by Day 3 (Thursday) and your other   posts by Day 7 (Monday). We recommend that you get into the discussion early   and spread out your posts over the course of the week. Reply to your   classmates and instructor. Attempt to take the conversation further by   examining their claims or arguments in more depth or responding to the posts   that they make to you. Keep the discussion on target, and analyze things in   as much detail as you can.
