Discussion Assignment 1

Assigned: June 3, 2024

Due: June 12, 2024

As an icebreaker and to learn to use the discussion board, we will use the Truth and Lies Activity. You are to create a thread on the Discussion Assignment 1 board that contains two true statements and one false statement. Please try to make statements that are outrageous and also reveal your personality. Also, try to create statements that are not obviously true or false. In other words, do not make the false statement obvious. This assignment will serve the dual purpose of learning Blackboard Discussion Boards and learning more about your classmates.

We will observe the following schedule:

  • Post initial statement by end of day on Thursday June 6
  • Reply to three different students' postings by end of the on Tuesday June 11 (try to guess their false statement)
  • Post your false statement on Wednesday June 12.
