Forum Instructions

In a post below, respond to the following prompt, which assesses course outcomes and module learning objectives. Then, you must respond to one of your classmates' posts. After you post a response, you will be able to see other responses. You are not required to post more than once, but feel free to respond to other posts and engage with your classmates.

Your [first] post is due on [day of week] by [time] CST. Your response to another student is due on [day of week] by [time] CST. [Adjust for number of posts required.]

Your response should be a minimum of six complete sentences, including replies to your peers’ posts. Brief statements such as “I agree,” “Yes,” or similar comments will not be counted as substantive contributions. Please carefully reflect on the discussion questions and your classmates’ responses and reply thoughtfully and respectfully in accordance with netiquette guidelines. Proper English grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure are required. While posts will primarily be evaluated for thoughtfulness and completeness, points may be deducted for grammatical errors that interfere with clarity.
