As part of your learning experience, active participation in discussions is essential. An important part of the final grade will be based on your participation. You will be evaluated on the quality and frequency of your participation in the discussion forum that corresponds to the grading rubric. The initial post and responses should be in your own words and demonstrate critical thinking, analysis, and expected level of knowledge. Initial posts and responses should be in complete sentences and paragraph form. You should not include lists or bullet points as they are not in complete sentences or paragraph form. Copy-pasting information from a resource may result in a zero. Your initial post should address the correct number of prompt choices indicated each week and should be more than a few sentences to demonstrate adequate thoroughness and critical thinking. The initial post needs to be supported by information in the required course textbook or course materials. It should also include the appropriate APA 7th edition formatted reference for the textbook or course materials used for support and a minimum of one APA style in-text citation. An example of the appropriate textbook reference can be found in the syllabus. To meet the minimum participation requirements, you will need to post on 3 different days during the week. The initial post is due by the end of day four of the course week. Once you make the initial post, you will see other peoples posts. You will post responses/replies on at least two additional days by the end of day seven of the course week. You can respond/reply to classmates or any posts by the instructor. The purpose of the responses/replies is to generate discussion that further explores and builds on the topics (i.e., add insight or extra information on the topic, agree or disagree with reasoning, ask additional questions with some initial thoughts about possible answers to them and so on). All discussions should be positive and professional. Refer to the syllabus for a complete breakdown of the rubric expectations. Grading Criteria Click the ellipsis icon to view the grading rubric.
