Responses to other learners should be substantive posts that contribute to the discussion by asking questions, respectfully debating positions, and presenting supporting information relevant to the topic. APA style for in-text citing is no longer required, but is optional. But, mentioning in-course readings’ authors and out-of-course readings’ authors is required as a way of giving appropriate credit to sources for ideas, data, or information. A reference list of in-course readings mentioned is not required. But, a reference list for any outside sources mentioned is required.
