DISCUSSION ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
You will respond to the prompt in 2 parts: a thread of at least 300 words in response to the
discussion prompt, and a reply of at least 150 words to a classmate’s thread. Each thread, reply,
and cited reference must follow current APA format.
You must show respect and sensitivity toward varying opinions and ideas presented.
Furthermore, you are expected to respond to all questions posted by your instructor and/or
classmates in your thread, even if you have already posted your reply to another candidate’s
thread.
Note that responses such as “I like what you said,” “That’s a good point,” and “I disagree with
your comment,” do not count as complete responses. Instead, add substantial supporting thoughts
or ideas to elucidate why you agreed with the thread, or provide alternative ideas and thoughts to
demonstrate why you disagreed.
As one of the goals of discussions is to encourage student community learning, not every thread
will have a response from the instructor. Rather, the instructor will respond to a few threads in a
way that adds to the conversation, asks pertinent questions, or summarizes some of the key
points made by candidates.
See the Discussion Grading Rubric for direction on how your participation will be evaluated.

Please answer the following questions after reviewing the reading and lessons for Week 7.
What measures would you use in a business like Amazon.com to evaluate the company’s performance? The supply chain?

So this has to be an essay about me, since I won’t have to write it.. please write it as if it was me. The subject is “what do I see as a potential threat for my future” I maybe wrong but it is included in the screen shot I have attached. Some stuff about me that I can see as a threat to my future would be that I am a procrastinator, so type about something similar to that. Also it can be hard since I am a single mom and have a kid. I also plan to get a bachelor degree. Has to be MLA format, no citing. at least 2 full pages.

To receive full credit on this discussion, students must both post their own comment and comment on at least one other student’s post. NO USE OF AI, ONLY HUMAN TEXT
Do you think anything could be done to lower recidivism rates among offenders? If so, what?

After I recieve the submission , I will give you a classmates post to reply to to
Please be sure to stay on topic and limit your discussion to only the questions posed. Please respect your classmates in the discussion boards, and use only appropriate language, as you would in a professional, business environment. I look forward to reading your posts!

Practical Proposal Prompt: Write a practical proposal offering a solution to a local problem. Write an 8-10 page paper that takes a stand and supports its position through the use of evidence exploring the problem, and justifying the solution, careful reasoning, and acknowledgement and analysis of counterarguments (how some one would argue against the problem or your solution). You need to show that there is a problem that needs to be addressed (discussing the causes and effects). You need to persuade your audience that your solution is the most effective strategy to help the problem. Identify a “local” problem and work with it. Your proposal needs to have a clear purpose with ample detail to support the purpose. (Introduction, Background Information, Problem/Need, Solution, Barriers/Counterarguments, Conclusion, Works Cited Page).
This paper should develop your argument on your topic. Your paper should clearly identify your issue. It should have a clear claim and well-developed reasons. It should use at least 4 appropriately cited quotes, at least 4 appropriately cited paraphrases (you may use more as needed), and a Works Cited page in APA format. Use long quotes sparingly.

You will draw from multiple prompts provided to formulate a thesis about a major theme(s) in Braiding Sweetgrass. You will use examples from at least three different essays from Braiding Sweetgrass in your analysis.
In this essay, you are crafting a piece of literary analysis. Literary analysis involves analyzing writing as an art form, and how we view literature can take place from a myriad of perspectives- the artistic, aesthetic, cultural value of a work has endless possibilities.
There are many ways to approach literary analysis, and there is no right, absolute way. For the purpose of introducing you to literary analysis, this prompt gives you some structure to work with while also allowing you freedom to choose how you want to approach the ideas.
This essay is not a research based essay where you have to find commentary from literary scholars or research the historical context of the book. In this essay, the analysis is based solely in the text, and what is written the book itself is the only reference you need. In other words, the book provides everything you need to make your interpretation of its themes.
Often, when writing about a work of literature, we consider the themes in the work. This is not the who, what, when of a story, but the how and why. In this essay, your task is to develop a thesis that provides an interpretation of one specific, narrow aspect of the book. The goal is depth and close exploration in one area, rather than trying to explain all the themes and meanings happening in the book, which is impossible.
