Use the following headings to organize your paper: Introduction, Question 1, Question 2, Question 3, Conclusion, References.Submit your paper as a Word attachment in the discussion forum.

 I provide feedback within the paper and will not grade your post unless you submit it as an attachment. Your response to the discussion prompt should contain a minimum of 500 words and it should be submitted no later than Wednesday before 11:59 pm EST.  Your response should be formatted in APA style and reference each of this week's readings.Also, two peer replies should contain a minimum of 150 words each and should be submitted no later than Sunday before 11:59 pm EST.  The initial post is worth 40 points and the peer replies are worth 5 points each (10 points). Follow the following writing requirements for all of your discussion prompt responses (note that these writing requirements DO NOT apply to your responses to other students):Writing Requirements for All Assignments:

• References MUST be cited within your paper in APA format. Your reference page and in-text citations must match 100%. Papers without in-text citations will earn failing grades.
• Always include a cover page and reference page with all submissions
• Your paper must have headings in it. For discussion posts Introduction, Prompt/Question, and Conclusion will suffice as headings.

• No abbreviations, no contractions – write formally
• Write in the third person formal voice (no first or second person pronouns)
