COMS 560 WEEK 5 DISCUSSION 

Discussion

 Topic: From your reading in the Helmick & Petersen text, choose either Article 12 or 13 for your article review. 

Throughout the course, you will participate in four Discussion Board forums, all of which will be centered around the articles found in the Helmick text.  These articles are taken from professional journals and are designed to help you analyze issues related to conflict management.    

For the thread, you will write a review for an assigned article located in the Helmick textbook.  The article review should be no more than 400 words and should: 

• Include an overview of the problem area discussed in the article.
• Summarize any theories or conclusions reached by the author.
• Briefly provide your own assessment of the article, evaluating its strengths and weaknesses.
• Explain how the article relates/contributes toward the field of conflict management. 

In the same week, you will post a 200-word reply to another classmate's thread.  Your reply should be thought-provoking; it should interact directly with your classmate's content; and you should use diplomacy if you disagree with your peer's assessment of the article.  

The thread is due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Thursday of the assigned module/week, and the subsequent reply is due at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of the same module/week.
