Conventions: Minimum
requirements are three paragraphs, one for each question. A paragraph
is considered to have a minimum of five sentences. Restating the
questions in your responses is not an answer. Needless to say, more than
one paragraph may be required to answer each question. Note that the
discussion board and journal carry more weight in the class than your
papers and quizzes. See the discussion board grading rubric for a full description of the grading criteria.
