When answering questions in the weekly Discussion forums, please remember to actively work on being both clear and specific in your writing. Actively working on your communication skill here, means writing your ideas out as fully as possible and not resorting to truncation, text-speak or casual tones in grammar. You can become clear and specific in your academic writing by not only planning and thinking carefully about how you are responding, but by also including considered reasons for selecting and discussing particular aspects of a question. Remember, 100-200 words is not much room to discuss your ideas, and you are not expected to grapple with everything, so be selective in what you choose to discuss. You will need to demonstrate and convince your Assessor of your understanding and explicit engagement with the online course materials. This is a question and answer forum. In order to see other responses to these questions, you must first post your answer.
