Any topic (writer’s choice)

is forum is for your graded group postings relating to concepts covered in Week 1-4. You may write about any topic covered during this time, from the textbook or from other available readings and lectures.

You should try to make your posts about something interesting, valuable, controversial or intriguing that you have encountered during this period.

Make sure to justify and explain why you think something is interesting and/or valuable to be shared with others in your post.  Instead of just writing “I like this” or “I hear you”, try to point out something unique, valuable, exceptional, and explain why you think that is so.

You need at least one 400-word posting (or two 200-word postings) AND two replies (at least 150 words each).
Last day to make a post is February 4th for this section. Make sure to make your first post much earlier!
This set of discussions accounts for 5% of your final grade.
You must first post something before seeing other posts.
