If you had the option to know the day and time of your death, would you want to know? Explain your answer in 5-7 sentences. Edit your work before posting.
Then respond to two other students post with at least 4-6 sentences.
Remember to:
1. Proofread your work before you hit that "Publish" button.
2. Create at least 3 comments (each between 5-7 sentences)—1 to me responding to the original post and 2 to your peers.
3. Keep the language professional, academic, and on-point.
4. Sign your full name at the bottom of each response you make.
5. Comment within the appropriate post.
Reminders:
Do not use IM language (e.g., ";-)," "u r kewl," "lol," "brb," etc.)--this is a college-level discussion, not a private conversation.
Do not use slang--again, this is a college environment where people use professional and academic langauge.
Do not state an opinion without stating why you think/feel the way you do.
Do not re-phrase someone's comment or just agree with him in order to have something to say--"Think before you type" means exactly that.
