Your initial post should be at least 300 words. In addition to the thread, you are required to reply to 2 other classmates’ threads. Each reply must be at least 150 words with at least 1 citation in current APA format. Responding to a classmate’s post requires both the addition of new ideas and analysis. A particular point made by the classmate must be addressed and built upon by your analysis in order to move the conversation forward. Thus, the response post is a rigorous assignment that requires you to build upon posts to develop deeper and more thorough discussion of the ideas introduced in the initial posts. As such, reply posts that merely affirm, restate or unprofessionally quarrel with the previous post(s) and fail to make a valuable, substantive contribution to the discussion will receive appropriate point deductions.

Although the course textbook may be cited as a source, it is not counted in the required number of sources since the purpose of the Discussion Board is to move the discussion beyond the knowledge presented in the textbook.
