20.8 Discussion: Introductions/ What area of Psychology interests you the most? (Graded Discussion) – Group 2
Let’s use our first discussion as a way of getting to know each other. I’d also like to find out what areas of Psychology you find interesting and why.
Note: First discussion board! Think of discussion boards as a way of interacting and sharing ideas with classmates. Just like a class discussion in a face-to-face class, discussion boards are a way of putting out your ideas and current understanding of a concept and getting feedback about it. Just like in a face-to-face class, some of you might feel a bit self-conscious about contributing for the first time. I’m officially giving everyone permission to make mistakes on the board. You will not lose points for saying something “wrong.” As long as you are showing an honest effort to respond, and your response shows that you have read the relevant course content, you’ll get the points. This is also a way to help each other out by trading ideas and giving each other feedback. Hopefully we can get a bit of back on forth conversation going on some of these boards.
