Assignment Overview
Students will participate in online asynchronous discussions with classmates on the Conners and Capell (2021) chapters and assigned readings.
The purpose of this assignment is to gain an understanding of the content by annotating, asking questions, engaging in conversations with peers, and making connections. Use these opportunities to have conversations and ask critical questions about the practice of ABA for culturally diverse populations.
Perusall works with your course text to create a collaborative environment for you and your classmates to create a dialogue around the course reading.
In Perusall you can:
- Annotate the course reading
- Share insights and understandings about the reading
- Ask questions about the reading
- Comment on important points made by classmates
- Take personal notes on the reading that are connected to the exact location and phrase.
- To learn how to begin using Perusall and the annotation tools watch this demonstration.
In each Perusall assignment, you will need to add at least 10 comments per chapter or article. When the same readings are assigned across two modules, you will be expected to complete your Perusall discussions by the end of the second module. You must also respond to at least 3 peers per reading per Module. If you add at least 10 high-quality annotations, you will receive the full 20 points of credit for the assignment.

Instructions
Students are required to post at least 10 annotations per chapter and article, which must include at least three responses. Each response should address the comments of a different peer, ensuring at least one response per peer for at least three classmates.
- Avoid off-topic discussions.
- Respond respectfully to team members; refrain from using language that is inappropriate for a professional setting (i.e., cursing, put-downs, sarcasm, slurs, etc.).
- Treat your team members as you wish to be treated.
A high-quality comment should reveal your interpretation of the text and demonstrate your understanding. For example, you can use analogy or synthesize texts or readings. Your comments should be thoughtful with elaboration on the process using substantiated claims and/or concrete examples. Your question should go beyond the materials covered in the text. See some examples of annotations here.
