Discussion Format:

Discussions in this class are done in a group format, and they are worth 10 points. Each discussion will take two weeks to complete. You will have one week to respond to the question and another week to respond to two of your peers. For these discussion posts, you must post before you are able to see your classmates' replies.

Discussion Expectations:

Since we are online, it is important that you participate fully in these discussions. Discussion responses should add depth to the conversation. This can be done by sharing your opinion with your peers and asking questions. One word or one sentence responses do not typically add to the conversation. Your responses should be at least 3-4 sentences long and at times, they may require you to do outside research or provide quotes from your book. Be sure to read the discussion prompt/question closely to ensure you are including all components.
