Weekly discussion based on Readings                                          

Students build meaning and understanding together through enquiry and participation in class as a way to deepen the understanding of a topic. Students are to practise critical thinking capabilities to evaluate the literature. Also, it enables students to share their own different experiences and perspectives on the topics discussed.Students are to complete all prescribed readings prior to class, and be ready to discuss core concepts and ideas arising from readings, and share resources that are of interest to them.

Each week, specific material (chapter readings, articles, websites) is assigned to be read. Based on these materials, discussion questions will be posted in Canvas, for students to generate thoughtful discussion of the reading material and assist each other in the learning process. Insight from other sources can also greatly enhance the forums.

          Each student is expected to participate in every discussion forum.

          Posts should be approximately 250 words in length each week.
