Classroom
Participation
Students
are expected to initially address the discussion question by Wednesday of each
week. Participation in the discussion forums is expected with a minimum total
of three (3) substantive postings (this includes your initial posting and
posting to two peers) on three (3) different days per week. Substantive means
that you add something new to the discussion, you aren’t just agreeing. This is
also a time to ask questions or offer information surrounding the topic
addressed by your peers. Personal experience is appropriate for a substantive
discussion and should be correlated to the literature.
All
discussion boards will be evaluated utilizing rubric criterion inclusive of
content, analysis, collaboration, writing and APA. If you fail to post an
initial discussion you will not receive these points, you may however post to
your peers for partial credit following the guidelines above. Due to the nature
of this type of assignment and the need for timely responses for initial posts
and posting to peers, the Make-Up Coursework Policy (effective July 2017) does
not apply to Discussion Board Participation.
