question. The discussions are expected to be somewhat in-‐depth, (not just one or two
sentences). Students must post one response per question. You are also required to post
one response to one other student’s post giving them feedback. Your response to another
students post will be worth an extra 3 points providing it is relevant information. If you do
not receive the total points on the discussion question it is most likely because you did not
go in-‐ depth with the question. Your response to the discussion questions must be relevant
using critical thinking. You certainly can post to more than one student’s discussion, though
you will only receive credit (3 points) for the one response.
3.
All students are expected to display critical thinking throughout the course in the
assignments, exams and on the discussion board.
