Discussion Expectations

Discussion posts must meet the following expectations:

Submit initial post(s) early in the week, and subsequent responses to the posts of your peers at timely intervals throughout the session. The goal is to have a dynamic discussion around the topic that lasts throughout the week.

Make your posts and responses thorough and thoughtful. Just posting an “I agree” or “Good ideas” will not be considered adequate. Support statements with examples, experiences, and references.

Respond to at least two peers by the end of the week.

Discussions occur when there is a dialogue; therefore, you need to build upon the posts and responses of your peers to create discussion threads. Make sure to revisit the discussion forum and respond (if necessary) to what other students have posted to your initial responses.
