Each week, you must provide an initial post responding to one of the discussion
board prompt options. Please include the discussion prompt you are addressing
in the subject line of your post. Once you are done, review the posts of other
learners and engage in two responses to a learner, or learners, in any discussion
board prompt; you may respond to the same learner twice in a conversation.
Your responses should be substantive and demonstrate your understanding of
the material. In this, and in all of your courseroom posts, be sure to keep your
tone respectful and professional. Use the name of the peer you are addressing.
Cite any references according to APA guidelines.
