(I have attached a document explaining the instructions)
Privacy and the Law -Discussion Board Post
Please create two separate documents for these two Topics/Discussion Board Posts
Brief description:
Write two discussion board posts each valued at 5% for a total of 10% of the overall grade.
Purpose:
The purpose of the discussion board post is to critically engage with a reading of your choice and provide an analysis of the themes of the article. This is not a summary of the article. You are welcome to include a few lines of summary to contextualize your post, but the majority of your post should provide a critique, analysis, or in-depth engagement with the themes of the
article. Along with having a good grasp of the article, it is not just important to provide an analysis of the article however you must take extra streps to discuss limitations of the article, how does the article connect to other content or real-world events, include questions you may have and how you might answer those questions, I want more of your own thought about the article! Write a discussion post on each topic. For the first post select topic 1, for the second post select topic 2. Once these topics are selected there are two readings attached, critically engage with the readings selected.
Topics:
1. Panopticism (Topic of January 19)
a. Manokha: “Surveillance, Panopticism, and Self-Discipline in the Digital Age”
b. Guariglia: “Facial Recognition Technology Is the New Rogues’ Gallery”
2. Police, Surveillance and Privacy (Topic of February 2)
a. McMullen “Social Surveillance and the Rise of the Police Machine”
b. Loftus and Goold “Covert Surveillance and the Invisibilities of Policing”
Due date: March 23
Length:
Discussion board posts should be approximately 550+ words each , size 12 font (double-spaced).
Citation:
NO EXTERNAL SOURCES, cite the sources for each topic/discussion board post. There should only be 2 for each. Make sure you add headings, and make two separate documents and ensure they are separate from each other, as they are different topics with different readings, However it is the same task for each reading. Cite in APA: Anytime you use quotation marks you need a citation with page number
Writing style:
The discussion board post is less formal than an essay. You are welcome to write the discussion board post in essay-style format (with intro, body, conclusion) if you prefer writing more formally, but this is not required. You may also write the discussion board post in blog format, using colloquial and conversational-style language.
How should I go about writing the discussion board post?
1. Compare and contrast the readings in a given week – here, it is important to identify the key arguments of both texts, explain how the arguments differ, how they converge, how they build on each other, etc. The purpose is to identify similarities and differences in the arguments and themes, not general writing style (i.e., both authors wrote in the first person; the first author used statistical evidence while the second author used qualitative evidence). In other words, the similarities and differences must be meaningful. It is important that you also pose questions about the readings and answer your own questions, discuss the strengths and weaknesses and offer your own thoughts.
This is just an examples of how you can approach the discussion board posts but notice that this examples offers a brief overview of the article, and the majority of the assignment involves some sort of analysis. In other words, if the assignment is 550 words, the summary should not be
300-400 words.
Evaluation Criteria:
The discussion board posts are more informal, but the evaluation of the assignment still considers a degree of organization, clarity of thought, and quality of analysis.
1. Organization—is it easy to follow the sequence of ideas outlined in the discussion board posts? (1pt)
2. Clarity of thought—is the writing style clear? Are the arguments clearly articulated? Is the discussion board post free from error? (2pts)
3. Quality of analysis—does the student present an analysis (and not a summary)? Is the analysis thoughtful? (2pts)
