Do you think there should be a punishment for pregnant women who consume drugs or alcohol?

Please review the requirements for discussion board posts that appear in the syllabus and below before posting.  

All responses need to be a minimum of 7 sentences and include proper citation of text material (textbook chapter or assigned article only) in the body of the post.  You must incorporate the weekly reading material in your post.  You may use additional sources, but at least one citation must be from the textbook chapter or assigned article.  Students are expected to use complete sentences, appropriate grammar, and accurate spelling when submitting written responses.  Failure to do so may require you to resubmit the assignment.  Discussion board posts will be graded as follows:

• 4 points: Completely and accurately addresses the question
• 2 points: Uses information from the text or other course materials to answer the question and includes a citation of the material in the answer
• 1 point: At least 7 complete sentences in length

Although not required, students are encouraged to utilize the discussion boards throughout the semester to discuss course content.

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY:  When citing another person’s idea, you must always include the name of the author(s) and date that the work was published such as: (Hawkins, 2024).  You cannot leave out the date, nor can you write the name of the book or any other information in the place of the author’s name.  If you are using a direct quote, which is not required, you must include the page number where it can be found in addition to the other information such as (Hawkins, 2024 p.43).  The citation must occur immediately upon discussion of the idea and appear in the body of your post.  Just placing it at the end of the post or after the post is unacceptable and will not be awarded credit.

There are no right or wrong answers.  Grading is based solely on the requirements posted above.
