Since the purpose of these assignments is to discuss the concepts and ideas brought forth by your fellow students, all your posts (original and responses) should not be made all at once. That would be much like standing on a soapbox in a corner and shouting opinions without additional input. Keeping the standard deadline for the original posts allows you the traditional 2 days prior to the unit to begin responding, but you will also have the entire following week to continue the discussion.
