Discussion: Initial Literature Review

In this Discussion, you will share one article from a peer-reviewed academic journal that will inform your inquiry into one of the topics you have selected to investigate this term.

Note: Make sure that the article you select clearly addresses ethical and social change impact.

Day 3: Initial Post

Post the complete reference and link to one of the articles from your literature matrix. Explain the criteria you used to make your selection and why you feel that this article is important for your inquiry.

Day 5: Responses to Classmates

Reply to at least two of your classmates’ posts with a brief reflection on their initial posts. For each, share one additional article that may help your classmate in his or her inquiry. Include the complete reference and a link to the article along with your rationale for how it contributes to your classmate’s topic.

By way of this collaboration, you not only will support your classmates but also will extend your own knowledge about additional topics that follow the themes of this course, beyond the ones you are researching yourself.

Day 7: Reflection

Post a reflection on what surprised you, what you still need to understand about the topic, and what you learned from your classmates.
