DRIVERS EDUCATION

Participating in classroom discussion is paramount to the learning experience.  Participating in the weekly discussions allows students and the teacher to share experiences, investigate complicated subject matter, share expertise, and examine the content from new perspectives. 

 

Discussion questions must be answered within the week that they were assigned. Additionally, the responses to classmate’s posts must also be completed within the week they are assigned in order to receive full credit.

 

Participation can be earned only by posting substantive, quality messages to fellow classmates and the teacher on the discussion board of the classroom.

​

Examples of Online Participation:
• Follow-up responses to classmate's initial DQs that integrate course materials with a practical application of the subject. Ideas of how to respond: perhaps offering a personal observation or experience, or referencing real-world examples, current events, or presenting further research you have conducted on the topic. 

• Interaction in classroom discussion should demonstrate a deeper or broader thoughts about a topic.

• Posts that encourage further discussion and ongoing dialogue with other students and the instructor in the class.

• Asking additional, relevant questions about the week's topic.
