After completing the unit’s Learning Activities, respond to the
following questions in at least two well-developed paragraphs:
· Include the revised version of your thesis statement for an argument for change in your community or workplace, and identify at least three search terms you can use in the KU Library or an Internet search engine to find sources to support that thesis statement.
· Find one source related to your topic. Is that source primary, secondary, or tertiary? What criteria will help you decide if this source is credible and useful for your research?
· Finally, create
an APA formatted References page citation for the source.
To earn full
participation credit, you will need to respond substantively to at least two
peers’ initial Discussion posts and show active engagement in the discussion as
described in the grading rubric. These responses should stay on topic and
generate further discussion by asking questions, mentioning relevant examples,
and referencing concepts from the unit’s Learning Activities.
All Discussion posts and responses to peers should be written in complete
sentences using Standard American English. Before posting, proofread for
grammar, spelling, and word-choice issues. Be sure to respond fully to every
aspect of the Discussion.
When you refer to concepts from the unit’s Learning Activities, be
sure to use a signal phrase like “According to . . .[name of reading].” If you
are directly quoting the Learning Activities or another source, be sure to use
quotation marks and cite the source using proper APA in-text citations and full
references. Kaplan
University Writing Center has
resources on APA citation formatting.
