Credibility Forum – Part 2 – Comments on Postings – Due: February 16
After posting your response, read and comment on two of your classmates’ postings. In your response, refer to parts of their essays to support any statements you make regarding their essay. Also provide feedback on their writing, as this will help us identify weaknesses such as spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, etc. One sentence response will not receive credit.
This portion of the assignment helps us learn how to review writing, provide, and accept constructive criticism. In order to avoid loss of work, make sure to key your essay and comments in MS Word; then copy and paste the information to the Reply section of your selected posting in the discussion board forum.
