Reference no: EM133730031

Summarize two different post seperately.

For each discussion activity, you are responsible for posting a reply to at least two other postings made by your classmates.

Your initial substantive posting should be a thoughtful reflection on at least one aspect of the discussion theme or question posed and can either initiate a line of discussion or be in response to someone else's posting (i.e., adding your own perspective or additional research to it). Keep in mind that quality is better than quantity and "me too" and "I agree" type postings add little to the conversation. Your postings should demonstrate that you have read and thought about the course material. You are encouraged to reference your course textbook in your postings as well as other relevant outside literature.

Some points to keep in mind:

Be clear and to the point in your postings.

Edit your work. Your posts should be coherent and use proper grammar and spelling.

Keep postings to 300-350 words. Quality is better than quantity.
Contribute your own thoughts about the material you have read.
Support your thoughts by referencing the textbook or other outside literature.
Raise additional questions or points of discussion to stimulate further discussion.
If you have questions, show that you have already tried to find a solution.
Respect the viewpoints of your peers. Ask for clarification if you don't understand a point. Assume good intentions.
Use the proper terminology introduced in the course readings.
When using literature in your postings, make sure to provide references in proper APA Style.
Show respect and sensitivity to peers' gender, cultural and linguistic background, political, and religious beliefs.
