Each student takes a few minutes to think through an appropriate response on his or her own and then pairs with another student to share their responses. After putting their ideas together, they create a collaborative response to share with the class.
Explain how the interactionist perspective would analyze and explain the low posting rate. (In other words, consider the contributing factors that the interactionist perspective would focus on in trying to explain the reasons for the low rate of students posting to their threads.) Then discuss a solution that an interactionist might use to encourage freshman students to post.

You will find at least two people to participate in this discussion with you. They could be classmates from other courses and friends but they can`t be siblings. They should be roughly your age, if possible, so you can have a thoughtful discussion with peers. You will set a time and place for the discussion and share the Discussion Guidelines for them to read prior to the discussion.
But as a consistent student as in posted on every discussion board and have initiated and supported discussion. I would like to request a remarking of the assignment.
Effective participation in class requires that you read the required materials prior to coming to class and that you have completed all assignments that are due. In addition, I expect you to contribute honestly and thoughtfully to class discussions. Late or missed assignments, and/or response papers will be accepted only during the next class meeting. 2 points will be deducted for late response papers or late assignments. No late final papers will be accepted, and missed quizzes cannot be made up. Electronic devices such as iPods or cell phones should be ‘turned off’ prior to the start of class.
In MDDE 601 I averaged about XXX substantive, distributed posts per week of any given unit (both initial and follow-up). In order to give my classmates as much time as possible within each unit to respond, I generally submitted my initial postings early in each unit. Also within the time frame of each unit, I made an effort to respond to a few of my classmates’ postings by elaborating, asking questions, or pointing to additional resources. I am satisfied that in my MDDE 601 postings overall, I did my best to engage regularly and promptly, with both the course material and my classmates’ thoughts and
Please respond to at least two (2) of your classmates’ discussion posts. In your response to your classmates, challenge their ideas and reasoning, asking open-ended questions, encouraging your classmates to further explain

Explain how the interactionist perspective would analyze and explain the low posting rate. (In other words, consider the contributing factors that the interactionist perspective would focus on in trying to explain the reasons for the low rate of students posting to their threads.) Then discuss a solution
My sincere apologies for having to trouble you in this matter. However, I like to bring the following to your attention, I have been observing student Selma Kitson since the course commenced. This student has a habit of grading our posts in the Discussion Forum on the very last day, just a few hours prior to closing and tends to submit more than one post. Moreover, 1) his/her comment is totally irrelevant to the grade provided 2) he/she has a tendency of providing very low grade despite his/her own work submitted is of far lower quality.
Then discuss your topic in an original thread by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday, and reply to at least 2 classmates' threads by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday. Be sure to include the following:
