Due Sunday (20 pts)

Read and respond to at least two of your classmate’s discussion posts. Be constructive and professional with your thoughts, feedback, or suggestions. Both quantity and quality are important considerations when posting substantive messages. For example, “I agree” does not constitute participation because it does not add anything of substance to the discussion. In order to earn full participation points, the messages must be related to the course topics for the week and include new ideas, personal perspectives and examples, or relevant follow-up questions.
