Discussion Board Forum Instructions

There are 3 Discussion Board (DB) Forum assignments in this course. Each DB Forum will be completed in 2 parts: 1) a minimum 300-word thread in response to the presented case study, and 2) minimum 100-word replies to the threads of 2 classmates. All posts must incorporate research and must be formatted in current APA style.

Each forum discussion takes place over a period of 2 module/weeks. Two replies cannot be posted within the same day.

Submit each thread by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of the assigned module/week. Submit the first reply by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Thursday and the second reply by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of the following module/week.

Thread

To begin a discussion assignment, review the case study presented in the forum and consider the questions at the end. Research sources in support of your answers. At least 2 sources in current APA format must be used, and can include the Bible. Then, compose a post that addresses those questions and incorporates your research as well as Biblical integration. Include a reference list at the end of your discussion (this list does not count toward the word count requirements). The purpose of this research criterion is to encourage you to contribute academic content to the course; failure to do so will result in a substantial deduction from your grade. First-person voice is allowed, but your writing must otherwise be as professional as possible. It must be free of spelling, punctuation, usage, and grammar errors.

When you have finished composing your post in a word processor, copy and paste it into a thread within the forum.

Replies

Read the threads posted by your classmates. Choose 2 threads, selecting at least 1 that presents the opposite conclusion of your thread. Compose a reply for each using a word processor. Each response must incorporate at least 1 scholarly source to support your conclusions and ideas, as well as Biblical application. Note that “I like what you said,” “that’s a good comment,” and “I disagree with your comment” in and of themselves do not count as a complete reply. State reasons that support your conclusions, adding additional ideas/thoughts, or providing alternative ideas/thoughts. Communication must follow Student Expectations.

With a thread opened on your computer screen, click on “Reply” and then copy and paste your related reply composition into the message box. To enhance the dynamic nature of discussion, be sure to post only one reply—not both—before the first reply deadline (as stated above).

NOTE: Attachments must not be used for posts or replies because they inhibit the flow of discussion. Accordingly, posts and replies posted as attachments will be given a grade of 0.

Post-First

This course utilizes the Post-First feature in all Discussion Board Forums. This means you will only be able to read and interact with your classmates’ threads after you have submitted your thread in response to the provided prompt.
