Discussion Rubric: Graduate Your active participation in the discussion forums is essential to your overall success this term. Discussion questions are designed to help you make meaningful connections between the course content and the larger concepts and goals of the course. These discussions offer you the opportunity to express your own thoughts, ask questions for clarification, and gain insight from your classmates responses and instructors guidance. Requirements for Discussion Board Assignments Students are required to post one initial post and to follow up with at least two response posts for each discussion board assignment. For your initial post (1), you must do the following:
? Compose a post of one to two paragraphs.
? In Module One, complete the initial post by Thursday at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
? In Modules Two through Ten, complete the initial post by Thursday at 11:59 p.m. of your local time zone.
? Take into consideration material such as course content and other discussion boards from the current module and previous modules, when appropriate.
? Reference scholarly or peer-reviewed sources to support your discussion points, as appropriate (using proper citation methods for your discipline).
For your response posts (2), you must do the following:
? Reply to at least two different classmates outside of your own initial post thread.
? In Module One, complete the two response posts by Sunday at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
? In Modules Two through Ten, complete the response posts by Sunday at 11:59 p.m. of your local time zone.
? Demonstrate more depth and thought than simply stating I agree or You are wrong. Guidance is provided for you in each discussion prompt.
