Dear H 365 student: Do use an APA reference for postings and try to connect your point to the chapter(s) we are studying. Do try to tie your "post" to a particular concept in the text/chapter and do consider asking a question that clarifies or probes a classmate (in your reply post). 



I have listed the point guide here below. We are off to a good start - thank you, Dr Cullen

Uses appropriate vocabulary. Student makes a thoughtful an initial post and makes a thoughtful comment on a classmates post.

Some signs of disorganization with expression; transition wording may be faulty. Student makes an initial post and/or doesn’t give much of a response to group members post

3 point: Has mostly shallow grasp of material; rarely takes a stand on issues; offers inadequate support. Poor language use garbles much of the message and expression seems disjointed. Overuse of simple sentence and comments are redundant without commentary. Paragraphs appear unrelated. Student does not respond to a peer.
