response paper contains three good and thoughtful questions about the reading. The aim
of this assignment is to help students read in an active, engaged way, and to encourage
students to practice critical thinking and develop their own views about these issues.
Please note, writing a response and having 3 questions at the end of your response is a
basic minimum requirement, and does not automatically guarantee 100 points. The
content of your response such as how well is written, whether you have understood the
ideas in the texts or misread and misunderstood the concepts, and whether your questions
are critical and relevant to the context of the discussion determines your grade. Furthermore,
you should pay attention to details and read the texts carefully and practice critical
thinking.
