assertions with at least 3 peer-reviewed, scholarly citations (besides the possible use of the
course texts and the Bible) in current APA format. Each reply must incorporate at least 1 peer-
reviewed, scholarly citation (besides the possible use of the course texts and the Bible) in current
APA format. Any external sources cited must have been published within the last five years.
Acceptable sources include scholarly articles, the course textbooks, the Bible, etc.).
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
• Provide a complete academic and scholarly peer response identifying a point in the
classmate’s original post and expound upon it from a suppot, refute or additive
perspective. Salutory-type comments such as ‘Thanks, Sue. . ..” or “I loved your post. .
.,” or, “Your sources are awesome. . .” are not included in the word count and should be
omitted (cover and references are also not included in the word count). A key objective is
to write succinctly, yet richly, as in a business setting.

• In-text citations are required to support your statements, points, assertions, issues,
arguments, concerns, paragraph topic sentences, and statements of fact and opinion.
• NOTE: In your reply post, when using/referring to a peer’s main thread, you must cite
them and include them in the Reference listing.
• Sources of information from Wikipedia, dictionaries, and encyclopedias will not be
accepted.
• All parts of the assignment must be based on scholarly, academic work.
• Avoid clichés, slang, jargon, exaggerations, abbreviations, figurative language, and
language that is too informal and too subjective.
