Discussion Requirement Reminders:

As part of your learning experience, active participation in discussions is essential. An important part of the final grade will be based on your participation. You will be evaluated on the quality and quantity of your participation in the discussion forum that corresponds to the grading rubric.

The initial post and responses should be in your own words and demonstrate critical thinking, analysis, and expected level of knowledge. Initial posts and replies should be in complete sentences and in paragraph form. You should not have bullet points as they are not in complete sentences or paragraph form. Copy-pasting may result in a zero.

To meet the minimum participation requirements, you will post relevant content 3 different days during the week. The first post is due by day four of the week by 11:59PM, Eastern Time. Once you make the initial post, you will see other people’s posts. You will post replies on at least two additional days by day seven of the week by 11:59PM, Eastern Time.  

Instructions for the initial post:

Write an equation for your peers to solve AND an expression for your peers to simplify, each of which requires more than one single step to complete. Your problems should be numbered and in one single post. Please make sure to label the expression and the equation correctly.

In addition, discuss your equation and your expression a bit. How many variables are involved in each one? Do you expect either one of them to be a bit difficult to solve or simplify? Share a hint for each to get your classmates started.
