Visit the Discusson Forum below and reply to each question in your initial postby clicking "Create Thread."I may also add more questions throughout the week to cover more material. Be prepared to respond to these as well.

Expectations: Your first weekly post should be made no later than Wednesday of the week. It should be intuitive, thoughtful, and properly documented with supporting references using proper APA style (in-text citations AND a reference list). Your minimum oftwoadditionalposts toclassmatesshould be done on separate days between Thursday and Sunday. These responses to other posts should also be well-written, thorough, and professional. The week closes on Sunday at 11:59 PM and you will no longer have access to the discussion.

EACH POST FOR THE DISCUSSION SHOULD BE AT LEAST 1 PARAGRAPH IN LENGTH (150 words). Quantity is IMPORTANT BUT QUALITY is just as important. Say something deep & intuitive, don't just rephrase something you read or another student's posting. Also remember the MINIMUM number of substantial posts each week is 3, but a MINIMUM effort will not earn a 100%. You need to go a bit beyond minimum for that.Support your writing with proper APA style documentation -- ALWAYS.
