Online Discussions (25%)
Every week you will have to post a response to a specific discussion topic(s). Your responses should be informed by the lecture and required readings and explorations. Discussion topics will be announced weekly and the assigned forum will remain open for that week only. This means that you will have to post your response in the same week that the topic is posted. Late posting will not be possible and will receive a grade of 0 for that week.

Each week's discussion posting weighs 1% of the final grade. There will be a total of 23 postings. Additionally, every student should moderate a discussion once, for a value of 2% of the final grade. More details on moderation will be posted on 21/SEP/2005.
