Weekly Discussion Guidelines
Online discussions are an important component of the program and course. You are expected to respond to the discussion questions with your initial post by the 3rd day of the unit week. After the initial post, you will then respond to multiple peers to drive the weekly unit discussions. One peer response should occur on a different day of the unit from your initial discussion post. You should respond to your peers throughout the unit week, but all responses need to be submitted no later than the last day of the unit week.
Each week your discussion will be graded on a point scale. In order to successfully complete each weekly discussion assignment, you will need to address all items included in the discussion topic/question, respond to peers thoughtfully, add value to the discussion, and apply ideas, insights, or concepts from scholarly sources, such as: journal articles, assigned readings, textbook material, lectures, course materials, or authoritative websites. For specific details and criteria, refer to the discussion rubric in the Menu (⋮) or in the Course Overview Weekly Discussion Guidelines.
