BA 544 Discussion/replies
Read the assigned chapter(s), then enter the weekly discussion forum and review the videos or additional reading material.
Your main post should be 150-200 words and combine the material with your personal experiences.
You must make your main post before you can see other replies.
Peer-replies may be shorter, but must be substantive (“I agree” does not count). For participation credit you must participate in this forum on 4 or more days each week.
Purpose: Blend your experience as a practitioner with the information you are learning each week. Discuss these ideas with the class to broaden your horizons and share your knowledge with others.
Expectations: A detailed response can be considered to be 3-4 sentences. “I agree” is not detailed. You can support a peer with your own experiences, or you can also dispute a peer’s point. If you choose the latter, the conversation should remain professional at all times. Participate on 4 or more days. Citations are encouraged but not required. NOTE: You will not see any of your peer’s responses until you post your first response.
