After you have read each discussion assignment for the scheduled class session and are prepared to enter the forum, log on to WebBoard  between  noon Tuesday and noon Friday. Post your responses to the assignment, and to observations made by your classmates.

I recommend that you log on more than once during the forum session to view additional postings made by other forum members, and to add further responses. Each forum counts as a full class session and therefore full class credit, so you must put in the equivalent time and effort. Please note that these sessions do count towards class attendance.

I encourage you to actively engage in discussion with your classmates, but please think about what you are saying before you send a posting (use the preview option). Remember, this forum is not anonymous and you will have to sit in class with these folks every Monday evening. 

For Wednesday, April 17- FORUM 11 Academic Writing - Engineering and Technology

Read chapter 11, "Writing in Engineering and Technology" pp. 384-420. This is the final chapter in a series dealing with writing within disciplinary areas. The technology professions themselves typically require a great deal of written and oral communication across disciplines. Take particular note of how the chapter deals with this issue. Post your your own observations and follow-up comments concerning writing in the health sciences to forum 11.
