I attached two peers’ discussion posts based on the questions of Comparative Politics of the Middle East, Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.
It is two peer responses based on two peers’ discussion posts. Responses should be with a minimum of 150 words each.
Your responses to peers must be critical. Your answer is not considered critical if you ONLY:
- Agree with them and repeat their statements
- Ask them too many questions
While you can agree with your peers on some points and seek further clarification, you must focus on critical responses that may incorporate elements such as:
- Are they using the syllabus readings as the main source to answer questions (as opposed to using Wikipedia or unreliable sources)?
- Are they citing their references properly (in-text and in the reference section)?
- Are their responses biased or normative? For instance, claiming that “X is a bad country because I hate the leaders.”
- Are they properly using data to support their argument?
