Discussion Assignment 1

Assigned: June 9, 2025

Due: June 18, 2025

As an icebreaker and to learn to use the discussion board, we will use the Truth and Lies Activity. You are to create a topic (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 Wednesday June 11
  • Reply to three different students' postings by end of the on Sunday June 15 (try to guess their false statement)
  • Post your false statement on Wednesday June 18.
