forums

Your initial Forum post requires a minimum of a 500 word substantive response that comprehensively answers the initial forum questions. All follow up responses (minimum of 2) should be at least 250 words.

Original responses to the forum questions need to be substantial and significantly supported by at least one additional scholarly reference that goes beyond the course material. Students should use the AMU Online Library to search for peer-reviewed journal articles that help support their argument. The citation and references are required to be in APA Style. All original responses will be posted no later than Thursday evening at 2359 hrs EST on the week of the applicable Forum questions. This allows time for others to respond to your posting. Please note that the purpose of our discussions is to develop a collaborative learning environment through the exchange of ideas based on the Forum topics. Therefore, please share your perspectives and understanding of the material, supported with properly APA formatted references.

Students will also be required to respond to at least two (2) other students’ posts with significant comments that have substance. Your responses to your peers’ posts should be engaging and informative. Your responses should contribute in a meaningful way that helps to advance our knowledge of the topics that our class explores. All responses will include a citation with a reference in APA Style. Your responses to another student’s work should be posted as a sub-thread to the student’s original posting. All additional responses are due no later than Sunday at 2359 hours EST. However, please feel free to provide your additional responses earlier than Sunday, which will provide your classmates with the opportunity to reply back to your posts and engage in collaborative discussion with you.
