Week 5 Discussion Board

Respond to the discussion prompts and questions outlined in the forum. Remember, the Discussion Board is a post-first forum, meaning that you will not be able to see other posts until you post to the forum.

Please add your text directly to the forum – no attachments (.doc, .pdf, etc.)

To receive full credit for this assignment you must complete both components:

1. Develop your own post in response to the question/topic. Your post should be at least 2-3 well-developed paragraphs and should exhibit careful thought, logical reasoning and provide evidence for your position. Use textbook readings, class discussions, external evidence, etc. to support your post. Make sure you respond to all elements/questions being posed.
2. Respond to at least 1 of your classmate’s posts. Your response should be thoughtful and be at least 1-2 well-developed paragraphs. Discussion is vital to learning and you must be respectful and appropriate in your exchanges with classmates.

Reminder: The use of AI programs and tools (e.g. ChatGPT) for Discussion Board assignments is NOT permitted.
