Discussion Board Instructions
Discussions are collaborative learning experiences. Each forum is an opportunity for the class to respond to a specific question or topic posted by the instructor that corresponds to the readings and study for that week. The initial post of at least 250 words should be informed from the readings, the Bible, and a reflection of the student’s thoughts of those readings and experience with the topic. The discussion though written, should be thought of like a verbal conversation, with people responding to one another’s questions. If someone asks you a question about your post, respond and do not leave them unanswered, which means you’ll have to check your own posts occasionally. You should read as many of your classmates’ posts as you have time for. You may reply to as many as you like but are required to reply to at least two of your classmates with comments (in 100 words) that contribute new content to the conversation. Use appropriate citation and a full reference in current APA format.
The grading rubric will be your guide to what is required in each discussion’s post and replies.
Initial posts are due by 11:59 (ET) on Thursday of the assigned module/week, and your replies by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of the same module/week.
