Directive

Your initial post should be brief and approximately 350-400 words. Initial responses should begin by Saturday, October 24th,  2020 (the week typically begins on Monday). Besides your initial response you are required to post two additional remarks in response to your peers. Postings should be concluded by Saturday 10/31/20, 11:59 pm. For good housekeeping purposes, respond early so as to give your classmates sufficient time to respond. Last minute responses should be avoided if/when possible, and may be potentially subject to greater scrutiny and rigor in grading. You may ask technical questions or post multiple responses to the question. Be objective, clear, and concise. Always use constructive language, even in criticism, to work toward the goal of positive progress. Submit your responses to the appropriate topic in this Discussion Area.

Please observe professional decorum in your responses, that is, use appropriate language, and support your perspective with appropriate academic research. Fillers/fluff-styled responses are frowned upon.  Direct quotations should be kept to a minimum–or when possible, avoided completelyand sources should be credited as required by APA standards. Note: providing a URL is not complying with APA standard. Simply agreeing with a posting does not constitute a response. Post in a MS Word document as an attachment.
