Discussion Forum Assignments require students to answer weekly discussion questions and post a response to at least two (2) other students. The initial post is due by 11:59 p.m. EST by Wednesday of the week they are due.  The answers to the weekly discussion questions must be substantial, meaning fully answering the question(s) with examples (qualitative) and writing at least 300 words (quantitative). Students are to respond substantively to at least two (2) other students  using at least 200 words (excluding references, figures, illustrations, or other extraneous elements outside the main body of the discussion). All answers to the discussion questions and responses to other students are to be supported with at least one scholarly  source, in addition to the assigned weekly readings. Each week, the professor may post a follow-up question on your discussion post. If so, you must reply to the professor’s question as one of your two reply posts. Lastly, a question must be posed to the course  professor and peer(s) in your initial discussion board post. These responses are due by Sunday at 11:59 p.m. of each week. APA 7th Edition guidelines are to be followed.
