Your participation in the discussions counts toward the overall assessment for this course. You are required to post at least one original message and to respond to two or more of the other students' postings. Make sure you support your points using reasoning and more so the content of the chapters in the module. Write clearly and precisely. Postings like, I agree or disagree, yes, no, etc. do not count.
