Threaded Scholarly Discussion
A percentage of your course grade will be determined by weekly threaded scholarly discussion postings. All graduate online learners are expected to complete weekly assignments as instructed. Weekly discussion board postings require interaction/responses to other peers.
Initial Post Guidelines
Graduate online learners are to actively participate in weekly discussions. To do this the learner should create a substantive post for each of the discussion topics. Each post should demonstrate the learner’s achievement of the participation criteria. Post a thoughtful, competently written initial post (detailed instruction will be provided under each course discussion assignment). The post will be directly linked to the unit’s reading assignments. Be sure to appropriately cite any references you make to the literature.
Response Posting Guidelines
Read the posts of your peers and respond to them (detailed instruction will be provided under each course discussion assignment). Your response posts should be succinct and demonstrate clarity of thought and precision in writing. Be sure that your responses are considerate. No credit will be given for postings that are disrespectful, inattentive, or otherwise inappropriate. Be sure to appropriately cite any references you make to the literature.
