How is a contract tender acquired?

The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through

sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB

question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a

conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of

each week.

Note that this assignment has two parts – each requiring a

paragraph.

Part I

Select a topic for your Unit 1IP argument essay and use prewriting strategies

(free writing, mapping, clustering, brainstorming) to explore a specific issue

related to it. Develop a thesis statement and supporting points for your essay’s

content. Consider your purpose as you plan your essay. The purpose of your essay

may be to evaluate, to solve a problem, to analyze causes and effects, or to

argue a disputable fact. Discuss your ideas with peers and provide feedback on

their ideas as you respond to discussion board postings.
