Direct quotes are not acceptable.The initial postings must be substantively provided with a minimum of four paragraphs for each textbook chapter – one paragraph for each interesting fact from each assigned reading – if two (2) chapters, then a total of eight (8) paragraphs/facts (four (4) for each chapter). Each paragraph must contain a minimum of three (3) robust sentences.
