You must reply to at least 2 classmates threads. Each reply must be at least 150 words. Each reply must cite at least 1 source and include biblical integration in APA format. Acceptable sources include the textbook, the Bible, and scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles. Your replies are due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday. Please read the DB instructions carefully before submitting your response. Make sure you cite and reference if required. Here are a few general notes on the DBs:
Substantive means, “with substance.” Avoid filling your posts with writing that does not add anything to the discussion.
Be clear, concise, and to the point. 300 words is the guideline, quality over quantity. Find your own references. Do not just use the same references that a person who posted before you found.
Avoid quoting from the textbook since this does not add to the discussion (since all of you are reading the same information).
If you paraphrase, be certain the reader can decipher what is your original thought versus what you are borrowing and use proper citations (APA format required)
Avoid the use of excessive quotes and long quotations.
Do not use Wikipedia as a reference for academic purposes.
Remember to incorporate the biblical/Christian worldview in your posts. Integrate this input rather than simply quoting a verse at the end of the post.
