Discussion Boards: The Discussions are directly related to the assigned readings. Upon completion of the assigned readings, you are expected to engage in an ongoing discussion/debate with your classmates. Your contributions to the discussion forums will be graded for quality and a detailed analysis linking the material to a critical appraisal of theory, policy, and practice. In all cases, students must cite in-text and provide a full bibliography/works cited at the end of their post for all citations mentioned in the post. Failure to include a citation in your original post in APA format will result in a 4 point deduction.
These posts should be the equivalent of 1 paragraph in length at least and should include one outside source (i.e., a source outside the regular readings assigned for the week/course). The specific discussion assignment is located in each unit Week by clicking on the Discussion link.
