Students are required to do four posts: An Initial Post, two response posts to fellow students, and a final reply post to their own initial post. Students will be expected to do an initial post in which they explain their understanding of the problem. In this initial post, students should (1) Clearly explain in words what the problem is asking, and (2) Make an attempt at the problem. Students must do their initial post before they will be able to see other folks’ posts and replies. Students who do not complete an initial post by the posted due date above may receive a 0 for the entire assignment. After completing their first post, students will be required to reply to two of their fellow students. Feel free to comment as appropriate. If you agree with your colleagues solution, let them know. If they took a different approach or you see a computational error, let them know. Or if you’re inspired or question something they say, feel free to respond to that. Try to make the response posts meaningful and worthwhile. As a final post, reply to your original post. If you think you got the problem very wrong and would like to completely redo your solution, use this post to do it. If you would like to do a small change to your solution (such as fixing a computational error in your original post), explain your mistake and how it modifies your solution. If you feel good with your initial post, state why you think its correct. Note: If you just plagiarize somebody elses explanation or copy something from chegg or AI, youll get a zero for the assignment, so make sure that you articulate your solution in your own way. Evaluation: Message Board posts will be graded on correctness, completeness, and on how you communicate your solutions. It is not enough to get the correct answer, you have to be able to explain your solution in a clear way. Each post is worth 10 points total: Initial Post: 4 points. Response Posts: 4 points. Final Reply to Self: 2 points. As I read through your posts, I am going to be looking for your understanding, and to see that you’ve truly given the problem some thought. Make sure to do your own work. Do not copy, do not plagiarize, do not use chegg or some AI to come up with a solution, and do not cheat. I read math for a living; I’ll know, and it’ll be pretty obvious. Do not stress about getting the answer wrong in your Initial Post. You’re not expected to be perfect the first go through. You might have your understanding of the problem wrong, you might go in the completely wrong direction, you might even differentiate when you’re supposed to integrate. That’s okay. When I’m grading, I’m not looking for you to be perfect in your first attempt, and as long as you make a well-reasoned attempt at the problem I won’t mark you down. That said, by the final reply to yourself, I expect you to have a clear understanding of the problem and be able to articulate the solution correctly.
