Packback Questions
Participation is a requirement for this course, and we will use the Packback Questions platform for online and in-class discussions about class topics and student-generated topics. Packback Questions is an online community where you can be "fearlessly curious" to ask open-ended questions to build onto what we've covered in class and relate our topics to real-world issues.
Packback Requirements
Participation in Packback dialogues will count as part of your 15% homework grade. The deadline for the week's submission is Friday at 11:59 pm. In order to receive full credit, you must submit one (1) open-ended question every week with a minimum Curiosity Score of 50 (worth 5 points) and two (2) Responses to a classmate's question (or response) with a minimum Curiosity Score of 50 (worth 2.5 points each).
