Description: This assignment is an opportunity for you to demonstrate what you

Description:
This assignment is an opportunity for you to demonstrate what you have learned in our class this week and apply it to your life outside of the classroom.
Due Dates:
Original comment is due by Saturday @ 11:59 PM.There is a 10% deduction for not posting your original comment by the due date/time.
A response to at least ONE group member is due by Sunday @ 11:59 PM.There is a 10% deduction for not posting your response by the due date/time.
You must post your own comment before you can see comments from any group members.
If no group members post an original comment by 11:59 PM on Saturday, you do not have to post a response. It would be unfair to expect students to constantly check Canvas to see if/when group members post their original comment.
Word Requirement:
Original comments must be at least 500 words or more to earn full credit (remember, this is a writing-intensive GE class!)
Response to a group member must be at least 200 words to earn full credit
Not meeting the word requirement will result in a 10% deduction of points from the overall assignment grade. I suggest going a few words or sentences over to be safe.
However, going significantly over the word requirement will not necessarily result in a better grade. I prefer clear and concise comments over unfocused and verbose comments.
Citation of Course Content Requirement:
Your comments must include information that you learned from class. If you do not cite specific information from the chapter, slides, articles, videos, or other course content, you will not get credit.
Use bold font to highlight the course materials (e.g., articles, videos, etc.) and course concepts that you incorporate in your post. There is an automatic 10% deduction for not doing so.
CITE any articles, videos, etc. in the text of your original comment.The first time you cite an article, include the title, last name of the author(s), year of publication, and news outlet, like this: According to the New York Times article, “Senate Takes Major Step Toward Repealing Health Care Law” (Kaplan, 2017), . . . .
For any/all subsequent citations of the same source, just use an APA in-text citation, which includes the last name of the author(s) and publication date, like this: Kaplan (2017) highlights….
You do NOT need a separate references page for this assignment. Only in-text citations are needed.
Topic: Relationships and Health; Death and Dying; End of Life Communication…During the Pandemic
1. For your original comment, first select at least one article or video from this week’s materials that you can relate to, based on your experiences during the pandemic. Only use material I posted on Canvas.
2. Next, connect the article or video to one or more course concepts from the chapter reading and/or slides for this week. Explicitly identify the courses concept(s) in your post, or you will not get credit.
3. Finally, explain how the article and course concept are related to your own experiences during the pandemic.
4. Respond to at least ONE group member (200+ words):
Post a reaction to a group member’s post.
