Your instructors want to see that you understand and can apply your learning. The more you demonstrate this, the more points you can earn.
Here are three examples of Margo's reply to her classmate, Juan. Which one would earn Margo the most points? In other words, which best shows that Margo understands and can apply the Marshal Doctrine?
Margo's reply to Juan's post | Levels of Margo's understanding |
---|---|
I agree with you, Juan. | This doesn't show Margo's understanding or application of the concepts. |
I agree with you, Juan. The Regis Principle is present when the officer brings the defendant in for interrogation and asks about his frame of mind. | This shows more of Margo's understanding, but can be even better. |
I agree with you, Juan. The Regis Principle is present when the officer brings the defendant in for interrogation and asks him about his frame of mind. The reading this week talks about how that element (frame of mind) could connect it into an evidence framework.... | This shows that Margo understands the concept and can apply it. |
