Posts should be at least 250 words and each reply should be at least 150 words.
In the online class, participation is graded as a part of discussion. In addition to your own post (which is due by Thursday midnight of each week), you should respond to the posts of a peer each week. To be substantive, your reply should add more information to the discussion, bring a helpful resource to the discussion forum, or question the response on the merit of your own research. Posts should be at least 250 words and each reply should be at least 150 words. In order to receive full credit you’ll need to reference the content of the discussion to your field of study (ex: nursing). Think about how the concept would apply to your field, how you would encounter the concept in your field, and how you would interact/experience the concept in your field of study.
