Forum Instructions
In a post below, respond to the following prompt, which assesses course learning outcomes 3 & 5, and module learning objectives 2 & 4. Then, you must respond to 2 of your classmates' posts. After you post a response, you will be able to see other responses. You are required to post three times a week, every week.
All posts are due on Mondays by midnight.
Your response should be at least three to five sentences long. This includes responses to other students' posts. A simple “I agree” or “Yes” or “LOL” will not count. Please think about the questions and your peers' responses and reply thoughtfully and courteously, according to netiquette rules. Use good English grammar, correct punctuation, and complete sentences. While the posts will mostly be judged by their thoughtfulness and completeness, I reserve the right to take off points for grammatical errors, especially if they interfere with the clarity of the post.
