DISCUSSION BOARD GUIDELINES
Initial posts are due by WEDNESDAY at 11:59 PM Pacific Time
Response postings should be completed no later than FRIDAY at 11:59 PM Pacific Time
The key to a good discussion is interaction. Therefore, it is expected that you will log in and participate in the discussions on four (4) separate days per unit.
Additional Prompts are due by SATURDAY at 11:59 PM Pacific Time
Please note that posting all, or the majority, of your replies on the last day of the discussion after 6:00 pm will be considered for point deduction since this greatly decreases the interaction and impact of your posts.
Interaction is the key to a productive and meaningful discussion between you, your peers, and your instructor, so your goal and approach should be meaningful interaction rather than meeting minimum point requirements.
