Engage in discussion about the weekly topic
After having done the readings and written a reflection of what you have read, plan to discuss what others have written by participating in seminar discussions.
I know not everyone is chatty by nature, so you can fulfil this component by commenting on the postings made by your peers. There is no set format to what you write; it should just reflect your thoughts on the topic.

Condition
Be engaged, either in the seminar or in your blog comments.
These are also informal postings. Feel free to add images, links, and any other thing you feel you want to bring to the conversation.

Standard
For these tasks, the following grading standard will be applied. You may infer from the grade you receive that I felt the performance could be described in the terms in this table.
| Grade | Description |
|---|---|
| H | A strong performance that showed interest in the topic and a willingness to share that interest with the group by offering additional information or insights (or that your consideration posting had attracted similar commentary from other students) |
| P | A totally acceptable performance that reflected that one had thought about the topic (or that your consideration posting had attracted similar commentary from other students) |
| L | A marginal performance that indicated that one didn't have much to say about the topic |
| F | Total lack of participation |
