DISCUSSION BOARD FORUM INSTRUCTIONS

In Modules/Weeks3, 4, 6, and 8, you will participate in a Discussion Board Forum based on concepts from the required reading for a given module/week, organizational situations from your own current, professional experience, and your own research. Each forum is completed in 2 parts: a thread and 2 replies to classmates' threads. Below are the general requirements for each forum.

Note: The audio PointeCast lessons that are required for citing in both posts are not to be confused with the PowerPoint summaries from the textbook. Also, remember that a major theme of these lessons is how the biblical idea of covenant can provide a solid foundation for organizational leadership and behavior. When you cite them, make sure you build upon that major theme and apply it to the ideas in your posts.

Thread: Find a business problem from your own professional work experience or from peer-reviewed journal articles and apply 2 concepts in your thread from the required reading for that module/week. Each thread must be 500-750 words.

The following 4 sources must be included in your thread:
- The textbook;
- At least 1 peer-reviewed journal article;
- 1 passage of Scripture; and
- At least 1 reference from the lesson presentation found in the corresponding modules/weeks in a manner that captures the essential ideas of those lessons.

If you choose to research a professional situation, you must cite all sources you used in current APA format.

Replies: Provide 2 thoughtful replies to the threads of classmates. Each reply must include an analysis of your classmates' threads, based on any experience from your own professional career (if applicable) that might be relevant. All replies must be 200-250 words.

Also, be sure to integrate the required reading in a logical and relevant manner.
