Revise: This is your chance to correct any oversights or errors in your initial post, or show your improved understanding of the ethical theories and their applications. Start by reading the feedback provided by your professor to your initial post, either directly to you or to your fellow students.

Use this as an opportunity to learn from your professor, especially with regard to the best ways to apply the course material and your research to your analysis. On the basis of what you have learned in this process, post an improved revision of your initial post that applies the additional knowledge that you have gained.

Remember that your grade depends on the quality of your initial and revised responses, not just on the submission of an attempt at improvement. It is thus to your advantage to post the best initial post you can and then to also improve that best effort as much as you can through revision. Taking this process seriously will help you develop the skills you need to do well on the final project.

There is no minimum word requirement for your revised initial post. But you should always explain the reasons for revising your post so that it is clear what you are doing.

If you are revising only a few words, or an application of an ethical theory, you should avoidsubmitting a post with vague language such as: "duty ethics works better here" or "I did not consider that the end does not justify the means."

It is important to recognize that no one can read your mind so you need to provide the setting for your revision (Why? What prompted it? What course material informed you?), and it is important to write in clear language and complete sentences.

Consider your revised initial post as your chance to correct any oversights or errors in your initial post, or to show your improved understanding of the material and its applications to the case at hand. You may, for example, come to the realization that your conclusion did not take into account important factors necessary for your evaluation of the situation.

You should maximize the improvement of your initial post by employing your professor's feedback as a guide. Keep in mind that you may not always receive direct feedback from your professor.

But your professor will have submitted feedback in the discussion to other posts. So read your professor's feedback whether it is addressed to you directly or to other fellow students. This will give you much to think about and apply to your own post.
