Phase 4 Discussion Board

Primary Discussion Response is due by Wednesday (11:59:59pm Central), Peer Responses are due by Sunday (11:59:59pm Central).

The discussion assignment for this week includes a review of the Key Assignment Outline (Code of Conduct Plan) completed by one of your classmates, as well as a substantial response to at least two other students.

Primary Task Response: Your first task is to post your own Key Assignment Outline (Code of Conduct Plan) to the discussion area so that other students are able to review your plan. Attach your document to the main discussion post, and include any notes you feel are appropriate. The purpose of this assignment is to help improve the quality of the Key Assignment Draft (Code of Conduct Plan) you will complete next week.

Respond to Another Student: Review at least 2 other student’s Key Assignment Outline (Code of Conduct Plan) and provide meaningful feedback. Refrain from general feedback, such as simply stating “good job.” Your feedback to other students is most helpful if you not only point out weak areas but also offer suggestions for improvement. The best feedback takes a three-stage approach to identify what was done well, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.
