Requirements

 

For each discussion, you are required to write an initial post (300 words) and one secondary post (200 words).  The discussion forums will be worth 40 points apiece—25 points for the initial post and 15 points for the secondary post.

 

  • All discussions must be      completed on-time and must include in-text citations and references in APA      style formatting. If you do not use in-text citations or they are not in      APA format you will lose 3 points.  If you do not have references or      if they are not in APA format, you will lose 5 points. (You do not need      citations and references for secondary posts).
  • You will lose 10% based      on word count if your posts are too short.  For example, your initial      post is 300 words, if you have 250 words you will lose 5 points.  50      words short times 10% (50 x .10 = 5).
