In many Walden courses, discussion posts are due on a weekly basis, and in some classes, you may be expected to write multiple discussion posts per week.

Voilà! A thoughtful, thorough discussion post response is born out of careful reading, note-taking, and editing! Finally, she inserts citations before copying and pasting her response into the forum. Then, while reading, she takes notes, seeking out “information that supports the prompt.”Īfter reading, she reorganizes her notes, putting the course concepts into her own words and adding in her own experiences.

To help her draw clear connections between the course readings and her discussion post responses, Peer Mentor Shannon Gentry reviews the prompt prior to completing her readings for the week. This is the simplest way to “demonstrate to the professor that you’ve read the required readings.” Peer Mentor Amy Parravano Drummond recommends always including a direct reference to the week’s readings.

These five tips are sure to alleviate some of the stress associated with developing a discussion post:įirst and foremost, a successful discussion post response is anchored by specific, relevant references to the course readings. But with time and experience, we’ve uncovered a few tried-and-true tricks for completing posts thoroughly, efficiently, and thoughtfully. Trust us: over the course of our respective programs, we’ve written a lot of discussion board posts, and we know that sharing your thoughts in such a public forum can be nerve-wracking. Given the significance of the discussion board to the online classroom and our own experience as Walden students, we have assembled a list of tips for developing a successful discussion board post. In the absence of live or in-person class conversations, the discussion board serves as a space to reflect on course concepts, consider the views of others, and engage in thoughtful dialogue with classmates. Think it should be noted.A dynamic discussion board lies at the heart of any productive online learning experience. MAYBE in Romance mode, but we are also talking about a mode where a single unit can take on 2000 guys, so arguing realisim there seems kind of, uhhhhh, stupid doesn't it?ĪLSOOOOOOOOO. But that practice isn't going to work on the campaign map when it comes to the overall goal. I'll even extend an olive branch to the 'trebs are OP ahhhhhhhhh' crowd and say with extreme micromanaging you may be able to win field battles with them. That Pyrrhic Victory battle posted above, that army is now useless on the campaign map and will need to fall back for replenishment.Ī 6 treb army with a strategist isn't going to be able to take a fortified city. If winning with 6 trebs means I have to blob up the enemy and shoot into the blobs while also hitting my own men, I'm not going to do it. I think it should be noted as well that custom battles and campaign battles are completely different in the sense that a custom battles objective is to win by any means possible, where as in a campaign battle I'm trying to win and take the fewest casualties And still I took this one home just because of the trebuchets because they levelled the playing field to the extreme. My troops were inferior in number and troops as were my generals. The battle should of been over in less than 7 mins according to you. So trebs managed to wipe out 2/3 of the enemy as they approached, so what took you so long? I would be appalled with my army if they took that long to take out 1/3 of the enemy troops. In sieges Trebuchets are even more devastating. No, my Trebuchets bombed two thirds of the enemy army into oblivion on approach and the pititful rest couldn't make it through my lines. We also cannot see where they were fighting, was it in the open or in a siege? It takes way less than 12 mins for trebuchets to be attacked so your infantry held the line, long enough for them to kill things. That just tells us Infantry of any kind are overpowered. Now with infantry in inferior numbers and lesser quality. 2K A Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia.
