Instructions:
Your response must be in your own words. Your initial post should be 275 word minimum that reflects research and not opinion. Provide citations for the source of your learning.
In order to earn full points, one must respond to the forum question by Day 3, and to at least two other classmates’ responses with 150 word minimum posts that add value to the discussion and allow for time for interaction. In other words, waiting until 11 pm Sunday night to respond to others does not support the intent of a discussion and will not earn full points. The point to a discussion is to learn from each other, test ideas, share insights and engage in two-way dialog.
