Your First (and Second) Orders
To solidify for yourselves the distinction between first- and second-order knowledge claims, please compose two of each. Please ground your first-order claims in two different Areas of Knowledge (one each). Your four statements are due, as comments on this post, by 9:30 pm on Monday, 10/12. For your review, I've shared yesterday's presentation in Classroom.
