Fundamentals of E-Business
Discussion projects call for you to not only address the question(s) being asked in each unit as thoroughly as possible but also to continue the discussion by reviewing and commenting on the posts of others. The scholarly goal of the discussion threads is to create a discussion using the Socratic Dialog method of scholarly discussion. Here is a website that describes Socratic Dialog. http://fibers.philau.edu/ntc/I99P01/Socratic%20Dialog.html Step One in Preparing a Successful Discussion Project: Review the discussion project carefully. Make sure you understand what is being asked (if you do not understand the discussion thread challenge ask me to explain it to you).

Here is a website that describes Socratic Dialog. http://fibers.philau.edu/ntc/I99P01/Socratic%20Dialog.html Step One in Preparing a Successful Discussion Project: Review the discussion project carefully. Make sure you understand what is being asked (ask question is not). Your initial post/response must be a minimum of 100 words (excluding direct quotes, the subject of the post, the naming convention, or your name). The 100 word minimum should be easy to achieve especially if you response demonstrates: (a) understanding of the learning events from the unit; (b) the inclusion of research source information (other than the textbook) directly related to the discussion questions, (c) analysis and evaluation of learned or researched information and (e) interpretation of this information. Acceptable Sources Wikipedia, wiki’s, Answers.com, Ask.com, online dictionaries, or online encyclopedias may not be used as research sources for this project. As a scholar you are responsible for independent research and for veracity of source. A search engine is not a source but a tool used to find the resource. For any Internet article or information an APA reference must include the full and complete web address that will take the reader directly to the article in question. Use of a search engine as a resource reference in the future will result in lost grade points. Please see the information on APA formatting contained within the Writing Center for more information. All sources researched must be cited within the body and referenced (in APA format) at the end of the post.
