After reading/viewing the candidates’  Critical Issue work – you will post two responses (Module 7A & Module 7B).  You have been assigned the name of one candidate’s work to respond to (Module 7A); and then, you can self-select another candidate’s work/topic to respond to (Module 7B).  I have assigned each candidate – one candidate’s work to respond to – in order to make sure that all candidates in our online class receive feedback and can engage in collaborative communication.  Your “assigned” candidate is posted in both the Module 7 Content Guide; and, also, on the Critical Issue Directions page found the Critical Issue site https://sites.google.com/site/criticalissue6900/.
