- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Be sure you read the seed prompts on this week’s material even if you do not respond to them. Then, ask one question and respond to at least one thread and/or question. This is the minimum participation on Packback to meet your writing requirement. See the outline of the week above for guidance on how to approach your writing on Packback.
