Instructions: Please review the discussion rubric for details. Fully utilize the materials that have
been provided to you in order to support your response. Please respond to at least two other
students and provide substantive comments that contribute something new and important to the
discussion. You may challenge, support or supplement another student’s answer using the terms,
concepts and theories from the required readings. Also, do not be afraid to respectfully disagree
where you feel appropriate; as this should be part of your analysis process at this academic level.
Do not include direct quotes in your posting; instead, paraphrase what you need to convey. You
need to show good critical thinking skills and not quotes written by others. Formulating your own
thoughts from analyzing new information and studying established work is what is need for
successful experts of the future.
Discussion posts are graded on timeliness, relevance, knowledge of the weekly readings, and the
quality of original ideas. While proper APA is not required, attribution to sources that informed
your posting should be included. Refer to the grading rubric for additional details concerning
grading criteria.
Week 1 Initial Post Due: Sunday, by 11:59pm ET
Weeks 2-8 Initial Post Due: Thursday, by 11:59pm ET
