Thank you to Sarah for having strong discussion forum response, Sarah makes sure to elaborate and respond to multiple people in the DF! This is a great way to increase your overall grade!

DID YOU KNOW?

As, a reminder: Week 5 is now open for everyone.  If you haven’t finished week 4, then you need to finish that first, and then move on to week 5.

Week 5 focuses on “Leadership Online”.  In this unit, you will be researching some articles online, and giving your thoughts to discussion boards.  This week is top-heavy in discussion boards, with only one EP assignment and one journal, but 5 discussion boards!  Be sure to be active in them! Leadership online is an unusual unit, as it is often difficult to see quality examples of leadership on the internet, but some great examples are still out there!

Real World Application:  No 'serious person' should doubt man behind climate change, says Tony Blair  What do you think about the prime minister’s commentary on global warming?  Do you think that the issue is blown out of proportion?  Global warming is a great example of a topic that you can find leadership in the “pros” as well as the “cons”.  It comes down to personal beliefs.  Any thoughts?

TIPS:

All posts should:

1. Be in complete sentences.
2. Contain proper grammar and capitalization including no lower case “I’s” or text speech
3. Be descriptive and thoughtful (make sure you are telling me something)
