Question

ms. chen. so luisa agrees that students have too much homework these days. however, raymond mentioned a report that says homework levels are mostly unchanged. would anyone like to add to these two points of view? brianna raises her hand. brianna. i think there must be something to the idea that students have too much homework. a lot of students experience stress, and homework is often the cause. raymond raises his hand. raymond. that’s a good point. according to the article we read, more than half of the students in a study said that homework was their main cause of stress. ms. chen. are you changing your opinion, raymond? raymond. i think so. what does the transcript demonstrate about group discussions? check all that apply. ☐ it is important to keep an open mind about the topic. ☐ it is important to listen to the facts and ideas that others present. ☐ it is important to stick to your own opinion on the topic. ☐ it is important to read and review any materials prior to the discussion. ☐ it is important to argue forcefully to sway others to accept your opinion.

Explanation:

• For "It is important to keep an open mind about the topic": Raymond initially had one view (from a report) but then considered Brianna's point and changed his opinion, showing open - mindedness.
• For "It is important to listen to the facts and ideas that others present": Raymond listened to Brianna's idea about students' stress from homework and then used a related fact from the article, and also changed his opinion, indicating he listened to others' ideas.
• The option "It is important to stick to your own opinion on the topic" is wrong because Raymond changed his opinion.
• The option "It is important to read and review any materials prior to the discussion" is not shown in the transcript as there's no mention of pre - discussion reading review.
• The option "It is important to argue forcefully to sway others to accept your opinion" is wrong as the discussion is about sharing and considering ideas, not forceful arguing.

Answer:

• It is important to keep an open mind about the topic.
• It is important to listen to the facts and ideas that others present.
