Discussions

Postings must be original, well thought-out, and complete. Original posting is substantive.
Postings must be supported by relevant examples, material from the text and/or other competent sources.

Postings are grammatically accurate and clear. Citations are given proper credit in APA format.

There are twelve graded discussions in this course. To receive the maximum points for each discussion question posted, the response must be supported by related material from the text and other competent sources. All sources must be referenced in APA format. The response must be original, well thought out, and complete. Most importantly, students must post responses to two other student comments. Responses such as Good idea or I agree with you are supportive to your fellow students, but that alone is insufficient to earn points. You should engage your fellow learners in a relevant discussion based upon their comments and your additional research. Late discussion posts will not be accepted.
