Approximate Time to Completion: 4-6 hours
Points to Remember:
Your first submission to the weekly DQ is what you are graded on for the initial rubric criteria.
Look at the rubric criteria. Be sure to address every topic mentioned in the DQ prompt. The use of headings is encouraged to provide clarity to your writing.
Additions you make to your first post are not graded. For example, if you leave off the reference list and then submit the reference list later, the reference list is considered “omitted” and your grade will reflect this omission.
To get all the points awarded for “Peer Posts”, you must answer your instructor if they have asked you a question.
You will find a document, “Tips for Successful DQ Writing” in the Students Resources section of the course with more detailed information on successful writing of a DQ (attached)
