Hi everyone,<\/p>\n
I’d like to do two things with the discussion this week. First, provide a little personal background and reflections on the electoral landscape. Second, interact with a news article about the election. <\/p>\n
For your first post, due Friday at midnight, (1) Write a few sentences about who you are, where you’re from, and what your (non-POS 3273) summer plans are; (2) A few sentences giving your thoughts on the 2022 or 2024 elections–what has been interesting to you about them, perhaps, or discussing how things have or haven’t gone the way that you thought that they would. Then, (3): find and interact with a news article about the upcoming elections. Specifically, I’d like you to identify a <\/span>claim<\/strong><\/em> <\/span>or <\/span>prediction<\/strong><\/em> <\/span>in an article, and reflect on how or when we might actually assess whether the claim was true or the prediction had occurred. Your post should provide the title and link to an article that a class colleague can find and read. In all, the post should be 400 words or more.<\/p>\n For your second post, due Monday at midnight, read another student’s first post and the article that he or she wrote about. In about 200 words, give your thoughts on the article and the prediction\/claim in the article. Does the claim seem reasonable? Does your colleague’s idea about how\/when it could be verified ring true to you? This reply post should be 150-200 words.<\/p>\n
