Grading for the discussion questions will be based on:
• Using appropriate APA style format to include citations and references. Each post must have in text citations and a reference list at the close of your post. I recommend that you review the APA format style at
• A minimum of 2 paragraphs with a minimum of 400 words to be an acceptable response (not to include the discussion questions).
• Written at a collegiate level of writing.
• Accuracy, factual writing
• Thoroughness, most of the assignments require critical thinking. This is done to encourage you to bring information from several areas together to answer the question or describe the topic.
• No plagiarism tolerated. If you plagiarize, the appropriate penalty will be applied (see above section – ACADEMIC DISHONESTY AND PLAGIARISM).
