Discussion - Anecdotal vs. Research Based Evidence
An anecdote is essentially a short story about an interesting or relevant event that happened to someone. Anecdotal evidence is when, rather than providing evidence based on scientific research, statistics, or experimentation, personal stories related to a similar topic are collected and offered as evidence.
An example of this would be a friend of yours discouraging you from patronizing a local grocery store by telling you the story of how they thought they were treated rudely by the manager when reporting on an employee not rushing to wash their hands after coughing on them. Though usually compelling (it can be hard to disregard a good story), anecdotal evidence is not necessarily the most reliable source of information.
For your initial posting, discuss why you think anecdotal evidence is hard to ignore, and then provide an explanation of why it can be unreliable.
Discussion - Thesis Peer Review Humanities
Peer review can help a writer to more critically examine his or her own work. The writer gains another perspective to help develop his or her writing, and the reader gains a voice to help shape the writing process.
Share the thesis from your Humanities Project. Along with your thesis, share a question that you anticipate that another reader may have about your own writing.
For your second post, provide a possible answer to a peer's own anticipatory question and offer some constructive feedback on that peer's thesis.
Discussion - Leadership in Action
Post a specific example of a time when you were impacted in either a positive or negative way by a leader. Perhaps it was at work, or maybe it was in another phase of your life. Identify the traits and qualities that were exhibited by the leader (either positive or negative), and explain how this influenced your perspective on what it means to be a good leader.
