RWS 305 SDSU Prince Androgynous Genius Changed Way Think Music & Gender Analysis 200-word Discussion Board thread.

It should begin with a sentence or possibly two of context, wherein you explain what concept from the readings or lectures that you’re responding to. Other that those one or two sentences, you should not summarize the reading or lecture. Your post should offer your own analysis. If most of your post simply summarizes, do not expect higher than a C, even if it is well-written. If all of your post simply summarizes, not to expect higher than a D+.
This is a good forum to “try out” ideas — please do not feel like you must be able to defend everything you say as if your life depended on it. Your post can have sort of a “I’m not totally sure if this idea really works, but it seems like . . .” kind of vibe. It can have a merely tangential connection to the readings or lectures, but it should relate fairly clearly to rhetoric/human communication.
Try to take yourself out of it and use the detached, analytical perspective that I mentioned last week. If you find someone else’s post to be wrong-headed, instead of saying, “I’m offended by your comment that college students complain too much because I think you’re insulting college students who also have jobs,” try for something more like, “College students who have jobs might very well by offended by the claim that college students complain too much.” De-personalize the discussion. That will add to your post or comment’s depth anyway.
The main grading criteria will be the 1) originality and 2) depth of your post. 1) Originality consists of relating an idea or concept to an example that wasn’t part of the reading or lecture, or from exploring a relatively minor example from reading or lecture in much greater detail. You can find originality in your other classes or in your personal life and observations. 2) Depth consists of relating an idea or concept to universal aspects of humans, human nature, human relationships, or human reactions.
Good Discussion Board posts often end up having one paragraph that offers an original example and then one paragraphs that explores the concept in depth. Think about how you’re organizing your ideas.
