You should use a range of scholarly literature to support your discussion. Citations and references must be in APA format. See the grading rubric for more information.
You are expected to participate on multiple days in the weekly Discussion area. In addition, you are expected to respond to your professor’s and fellow students’ postings. To count as participation, responses need to be thoughtful; that is, they must refer to the week's readings, relevant issues in the news, information obtained from other sources, and/or ideas expressed in your professor’s and other class members’ postings. You can begin your response posts prior to your main discussion post. Please see the rubric for details about expectations.
Peer and Instructor Response: In order to receive full credit for your discussion board participation, you must respond to at least 3 individuals (peers and/or instructor) on 3 different days with substantive responses and support these responses with references. In order to create a continuous scholarly interaction, your peer/instructor responses must occur on separate days throughout the week. Please note that your peer responses can occur prior to your primary response to the discussion board prompt. See the grading rubric for more information.
In addition, responses should reference the peer’s or instructor’s post in some way. Responses should add to the discussion by illustrating a personal experience with the topic; by asking follow-up questions after explaining what you found unclear or interesting about the peer’s/instructor’s post; or by building on examples provided.
In order to be eligible for full credit, primary postings for the discussion board are due on or before Day 4 of each week. Peer/instructor responses should be made throughout the week and at least three should be completed before Day 6 of each week.
