Discussion Question #1

The answer to each question should be 300-350 words. This is usually just over 1 page of 12-point font text (Times New Roman) that is double spaced in Microsoft Word. One nice feature of Word is that it automatically provides a word count at the bottom of the page or text can be highlighted and there is a word count button in the Review pulldown tab. For each question, you must incorporate a minimum of two primary academic sources to support each answer. Direct quotes/word switching are not acceptable, you must paraphrase information when citing primary academic sources in your answer. Citations and the reference list for each question must match. Please create a separate reference list for each question. The class textbook is a secondary academic source and should not be used as one of your citations/references. Remember that this assignment consists of two questions and is worth 10% of your final grade. (5 points per question; 10 points per assignment). You will be able to upload the attached each Word file to moodle.

The following criteria will be used to evaluate the answer to each post question (remember that there are two post questions in each class discussion assignment).

(1) Evidence based arguments that are on-point

(2) APA format for citations within posts (2 citations minimum; no direct quotes)

(3) Formal writing that flows and is grammatically correct

(4) Word count total: 300-350 words

(5) References in APA format

Deductions will be applied for failure to meet each of the criteria.
