You will participate in 2 Discussion Board Forums designed to facilitate substantive interaction between you and your peers on some of the topics discussed in this course. The specific topics for each forum are provided inside the Discussion Board Forum itself and within the module/week where you will complete the assignment. Each discussion takes place over the course of 2 modules/weeks and consists of 2 different types of interactions: a thread and replies to your classmates.
Requirements for the Thread
In order to complete this post, be sure that you carefully read the prompt and ensure that you have completed all of the related reading. This post must be a least 400 words, addressing the questions or topic provided. To add your thread, click “Create Thread” inside the forum.
Your thread is due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of the first module/week that the Discussion Board Forum is assigned (Module/Week 1 for Discussion Board Forum 1 and Module/Week 5 for Discussion Board Forum 2).
Requirements for the Replies
Read your peers’ threads and post a reply of at least 200 words to 2 threads. You will be posting a separate 200-word response to 2 different people in the course. The purpose of these replies is to provide an opportunity for you to thoughtfully and actively interact with your peers. Therefore, statements like “Good posting” or “I agree” will not count as replies and will not be factored into the word count. Make sure that your reply reflects and builds upon what was written in the thread to which you are responding.
Your reply postings are due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of the second module/week that the Discussion Board Forum is assigned (Module/Week 2 for Discussion Board Forum 1 and Module/Week 6 for Discussion Board Forum 2).
