Discussion #2

Assignment #1 (Discussion Board)

These Discussion Board Questions are meant to assist you with your PPT that is due later in the semester.

In this class, you will be identifying the health needs of a community which you choose for your PPT assignment due later in the semester.  You will identify the health needs by visiting Healthy People.gov and choosing from the list of Health Indicators 2020.  You will be developing your program to fill the needs of your target community.  It is time for you to visit the website (www.healthypeople.gov) and choose the health promotion or prevention program you will be developing from the health indicators listed.

Guidelines for Discussions

Keep in mind that your discussion forum postings will likely be seen by other members of the course. Care should be taken when determining what to post.

THREE posts are required for each module discussion. Make your first initial post by Thursday and your next post (responses to other students' posts) by Sunday. Make sure that you post both responses to the discussion board forum by Sunday 11:59pm (EST).

To earn full points for each week's discussion, you need to meet the following criteria:

Post initial post by Thursday and respond to classmates by Sunday. I encourage you to try to post on non-consecutive days so you can take part in the discussion in the beginning, middle and end of the week. This will ensure that you do not miss out on any important information.
Check your grammar and spelling before posting.

Add quality comments and new information to help further the discussion. Avoid "I agree" comments
Reference web sites, articles, journals, etc. (Post your source!)
Share your experiences as they relate to the topic.

Please think carefully about your response before you post. Your experiences may be very helpful and interesting to all of us. However, be sure that you also back up your posts with factual information from the text (when it applies to the question) or other sources.

Module Discussion Grading Criteria: (15% of your overall grade)

· Thoroughly answered the question(s): 50 points are possible. A thorough answer will consist of complete sentences, and will address the question while drawing from the text or other credible source. A post that only has one-two sentences is not thorough and does not earn 50 points. Original post to the discussion must be received by Thursday 11:59pm (EST) to receive full credit.

· Correct APA formatted references: 10 points are possible. Please use your text (when it applies to a discussion) or any other credible reference to support your answers, and be sure to cite your sources correctly, following APA guidelines.


· Respond to TWO classmate: 30 points are possible. (max of 15 points per response to your classmate). Your responses must be respectful, substantial (include supporting details and facts), and will address your classmate by name. In addition, ask questions to further your understanding of the post or to promote further discussion. Make sure you support your response by using references. Your post must be substantial (include supporting details and facts) to back up what you are saying. Responses must be received by Sunday 11:59pm (EST) to receive full credit.
