Discussion Board Instructions

In Modules/Weeks 1–6 and 8, you are required to participate in Discussion Board Forums that are designed to facilitate a community learning experience through threads and replies mimicking face-to-face discussion. Follow the specific guidelines explained below, as well as those outlined in the grading rubric.

THREAD:

For each forum, submit a thread in response to the topic prompt provided. Your thread must contain 200–250 words. This limit promotes writing that is thorough yet concise enough to permit your classmates to read all the threads. Each thread must adhere to current APA writing guidelines and any references included in the thread must be formatted in current APA style. Since this is a personal discussion, you are allowed to use first person perspective; however, you must maintain professional decorum in all your submissions.

Each thread must be submitted to the appropriate Discussion Board Forum by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Thursday of the module/week it is assigned.

REPLIES:

After reading all of your classmates’ threads, you must submit replies to the required number stated in each forum prompt. Your replies must be at least 100 words each. All replies must adhere to current APA writing guidelines.

Be sure to click reply within the thread you intend to respond to. Also, note that “I like what you said,” “That’s a good comment,” and “I disagree with your comment” do not count as a complete reply in and of themselves. Rather, stating why you liked or disliked the comment, adding additional thoughts or ideas to the original comment, and/or providing alternative ideas or thoughts when you disagree count as a reply. Courtesy in any disagreement is expected. Thus, personal attacks are not acceptable and will count against you in your grade.

Replies to your classmates’ threads must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of each assigned module/week except for Discussion Board Forum 7, in which your replies must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday of Module/Week 8.

Since one of the goals of the Discussion Board Forums is to encourage student community learning, the instructor will not reply to every thread and reply. Rather, the instructor will reply to a few submissions in a way that adds to the conversation, asks a pertinent question, or summarizes some of the key points made by students.
