Writing a Successful Response

Each semester, you will probably be asked by your tutor to read a classmate discussion post, a book or an article (or watch a TV show or a film) and write a paper response or reaction. Responses can be difficult to give and even more difficult to receive. However, they play a significant role in students academic and professional lives. Consequently, it is critical to understand how to do them well.

Writing a Successful Response to Another’s Post

Read postings by your classmates with an open mind; think critically about which posts are the most provocative to you.
When responding, use the student’s name and describe the point so that your whole class can follow along
- Example: Jessica, you make an interesting point about technology increasing without training increasing.
Whether you are asserting agreement or disagreement, provide clear and credible evidence to support your response.
Avoid using unsupported personal opinions, generalizations, or language that others might find offensive.
When in disagreement, keep responses respectful and academic in tone.
Ask open-ended questions, rather than questions that can be answered with yes or no. Those types of answers end the conversation, rather than pushing it forward.

SAMPLE RESPONSES

Article response: Judge, et. al (2002).

In this article, the author discusses the challenges arise during the development of IT strategies. For instance the unfamiliarity with company strategy, lack of leadership and lack of consensus. I agree with the author that these challenges hinder the implementation of any IT project in an organization. It is obvious that one must understand the goals and the objective of a company before initiating any IT project. Technology is launched to solve a particular problem in the company and failure to understand the company’s strategies means there is motivation for the technology. As Judge et. al (2002), assert leadership plays an important role in the implementation of any IT project from planning, hiring of resources and during the actual implementation. Additionally, lack of overall responsibility will derail the implementation of the project.

The article ends by stating some of the strategies that should be considered in order to ensure the implementation of the IT project is a success. Implementation of any project involves a lot of practices that should be put in place to ensure that the whole organization adopts the system. As g, notes planning are essential in all projects since it gives the organizers a chance of evaluating and accessing the project. This will help in identifying any problem that may arise and provide the necessary solution. Proper planning will see that the company strategies are looked at, that the leadership is involved in the project and that there is a consensus in the whole process. Therefore, there is need of adequate time so that everything may be considered to ensure there is no disconnect.

Mohammad Sohidul Islam (Peltier, Thomas R. (2002)

In his article, Islam has acknowledged that CIA is an essential framework since it gives the techniques of keeping data safe. Nevertheless he alludes that CIA which stands for Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability is still faced by challenges. As a means of curbing these threats, Islam notes that he will perform assessment of the security on daily basis. I agree with Islam since this will give him the opportunity to identify anything that may be a threat to the security systems. According to Peltier (2002), threats to information systems are unpredictable and hence close and constant monitoring of the systems will be effective in maintaining security of the data. He adds that he will conduct training to the employees in order to raise security awareness. This may be a good idea but it can only be effective if the company has sufficient resources. Training will entails getting personnel who are experts in information security systems and this obviously attracts costs to the company. Nevertheless, information systems are the most important element in the organization and thus it should be given the attention it deserved. This will ensure there is smooth running of the organization as all other departments are interlinked by the information technology department.

Responses to Classmates Opinions

Response to Alexander

I do agree with Alexander’s opinion that Lawrence Bobo and Victor Thompson article’s does justice on disseminating the statistical facts of mass incarceration among African Americans in the United States. However, Alexander fails to mention that upon reviewing the article the emphasis is no longer on mass incarceration but on racialized mass incarceration. This has been statistically highlighted in the article ‘Racialized Mass Incarceration: Poverty, Prejudice, and Punishment’ (Bobo & Thompson, 2010) It is imperative to note that race relations in the United States have changed a lot since the mid-1850s. Only to highlight that the changes have only shifted focus and disguised racial bias in a legal format through the implementation of biased political, economic and social contexts. As the article suggests one would wonder why even though African Americans males represent only about 12% of the total American adult male population, there are almost 8 times more African American males under the United States correctional system (Bobo & Thompson, 2010). Alexander points out that if the trend of unequal policies among populations continues there will be further distrust in the entire governance system. This is exceedingly true as if a population believes that the governing system is working against it, the people tend to revolt and push back. People always need assurances that the system that governs them is free and fair to all. This can ultimately result to the undoing of the many good steps that have been gained towards the inclusion and equality of all. However, it is necessary to fight this impunity trend as it leads to more disruption of peace and continued inequality. This supports the fact that iniquitous deployment of justice does not only affect the African American but it affects the entire nation.
