Discussions should be posted to the appropriate topic in the Discussion area of the course. Discussions require each student to respond to the topic posed by the instructor and should be completed by Friday of the assigned week. You are also required to read your fellow students' posts and respond to a minimum of two of their comments (5 points possible). Peer responses should be posted by Saturday of the assigned week. There is also an Introduction (10 points possible) and a Final Comments (10 points possible) posting. Posting thoughtful, well planned responses is encouraged. Responses are also graded, so give your responses effort. Your grade will be based on the level of thought you gave to the topic and your responses to other students' remarks. Discussion postings will be graded according to the Discussion grade criteria table below.
