Discussion Board Forum Replies:

In Modules/Weeks 2, 4, 6, and 8 you will be required to post a substantive reply of at least 250 words each to a minimum of 3 classmates’ threads. Expect to enter on-going dialogues with your classmates and be prepared to answer questions about your own selected topics. Student interaction on the Discussion Board is the key to success in this course.

1. You must use at least 1 peer-reviewed reference (not used in the original posting) in your response. From Liberty University Library Only, less than 3 years old. You must look for articles from reputable peer-reviewed magazines and journals.

· Use 3rd person.

· Do not simply revisit what was discussed in the thread.

· Only the substantive part of the response will be counted toward the word count.

· Read both the threads of your classmates and the articles which are used to write the thread.

· Draw classmates into discussion of the topic by asking questions.

· Expect to spend some time each day reviewing all threads and replies (even those in which you are not involved).

· The research and writing done for each forum is to prepare you to research and write upper-level research papers in current APA format. Each posting, whether threads or replies, must be written without grammar or spelling errors and must utilize proper APA in-text and reference citations.

· This is a formal writing assignment, so use 3rd person throughout the forum threads and replies.

· References: All references must be listed at the bottom of the thread in current APA format.
