In order to be eligible for the maximum score on this graded activity, the initial response to the discussion questions must be at least 200 words and be suitably supported (citations) with material from our our assigned textbook readings. Subsequent comments to other students must "add value" to the discussion and should be approximately 100 words each in order to be considered "substantive" and therefore eligible for the maximum score |
