Cities of the Future
You will need to post 4 features that you would like to see in cities of the future and explain why you feel that this would make the city better.
Minimum Requirements
During the final week of class everyone must make one post to the discussion board, students must post at a minimum of 800 words. Expressing an opinion is not enough. You will be evaluated on the consistency and quality of your posts to discussion board. I will primarily be looking for how well you support your comments.
I expect you to work to make meaning of the material of the course. I will look for depth of engagement, as well as level of critical thinking and inquiry. Success hinges on keeping up with readings and referring to them as much as possible when you do respond.
