Read the exercise and respond to the questions as indicated then read other students' posts AND respond to at least two other students. Your original response to the exercise must be a minimum of 300 words. If a student's original post includes a copy of the discussion questions the questions will NOT count toward the 300 word minimum requirement. You must respond to two other students' posts to earn full credit for a discussion. Each response to another student's post must be a minimum of 100 words. Discussions will be graded using the Rubric provided in this week's assignments. Please review this Rubric to understand the expectations for participation in the Required Discussions. If a student does not meet the minimum required length for the initial post (300 words), the student will earn 1 out of a possible 20 points. If the student fails to respond to two other students's posts the student will earn 3 out of 20 points. Within the grading Rubric there is a grading category "Contribution to the Learning Community". To earn full credit in this category a student must engage the topic beyond the minimum requirements: this might include providing thought provoking insights; adding additional information to the discussion in the form of a link, a relevant website, or article; commenting on more than two other students' posts; or posing thought-provoking questions for further discussion.
***Of course I will be doing the responses part, so disregard that part***
