LT13 : Kepler's Second Law (p.21-24)

Part 1: Pre-LT Qs Kepler's Second Law

Part 2: Discussion Board LT (Kepler's Second Law)

Follow the instructions to make one initial and at least one response post, both before 11:59pm on Thursday. Get your initial posts done earlier so that you have time to read and respond to a classmate's post before the deadline!

They are "Participation" exercises and both will be graded using the rubric for LT DB posts.

Grading Rubric:

If you didn't post your initial post by the due date, no credit will be given for the discussion.

Here is a set of recommended characteristics adapted from a site at St. John’s University (NY).

Substantial: Messages should relate to the subject matter and provide information, opinions or questions about that subject matter.
Concise: Studies have shown that messages that are several screens long do not get many replies. The point of your message should be clear.
Provocative: A good message is one that prompts others to reply or object.
Explanatory: A good message explores, explains, or expands on a concept or connection.
Timely: A good member of the learning community gets on regularly and replies to messages in a timely fashion.
Logical: A good message should contain a clearly stated conclusion of thesis supported by premises, reason, evidence or grounds of belief.
Grammatical: A good, clear, concise message should be well written and free of typos and sentence fragments.

The following rubric will be applied when your forum posts/replies are graded.
The four required elements are: Substantial, Provocative, Explanatory, and Grammatical.
