Grading:
In order for the student to earn all the points, it requires a posted typed Discussion and a Reply to a classmate’s Discussion, and follow the instructions below:
A minimum of two complete paragraphs explaining your understanding of the chapter of your choice.
APA 7th ed Style writing and formatting
You may include examples, experiences, and theories.
Note: a paragraph is a writing structure that requires a minimum of five complete sentences.
These five or more sentences should represent a valid knowledge of the topic.
The Discussion also requires a Comment or Reply to a classmate’s Discussion.
This Comment or Reply requires a minimum of three complete sentences.
It is not only about the number of sentences, but the valid knowledge of the topic represented throughout the paragraph (Discussion) and/or the three sentences (Comment or Reply). And we are talking about “university student’s sentences” not “Mary is a girl or Tom is a boy” kind of sentences…
These three sentences should represent a valid knowledge of the other student’s Discussion.
Note: Sentences just expressing your opinion and/or perception of your classmate’s Discussion, and/or complimenting your classmate do not count for points, i.e., “I love what you wrote about…”; “You did a great job…”; “I agree with you”…
Not complying with all the above requirements will decrease the score for the Discussion.
