Step 5 Read and respond to other students’ posts.

Read other students’ posts and respond to at least two of them. In addition to any other comments you may have, respond to the following:

Do you think the thesis was well-supported?

If you had to offer a critical writing opinion of the text, what would you tell the author to revise?

Use your personal experience, if it’s relevant, to support or debate other students’ posts. If differences of opinion occur, debate the issues professionally and provide examples to support opinions.
