Think of the most recent writing project you have done that required sources.  Based on the definitions found in Research And Other Types Of Source Based Writing, was it a research project or a source-based writing project?

If it’s been a while, or you can’t remember, you can use writing you did for non-academic purposes for this discussion.

For the project you used to answer this question,

• explain the assignment
• answer the question:  Research or source-based writing?
• give evidence to support your answer.  Refer to the text in Research And Other Types Of Source Based Writing  to help you find evidence.

Post 1:  For your first post, answer the bullet points. 

Your post should be at least 150-200 words.  It doesn’t have to be grammatically perfect, but should use standard English (no text-speak, please) and normal capitalization rules.

Posts 2 and 3:  Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts. 

Responses are weighed as heavily as your initial posting, and should be roughly as long (150-200 words) when combined.  Responses should indicate you’ve read your classmates’ posts carefully.  Include specific details from the post you’re responding to in your reply.
