Response Parameters
Post an original response to the discussion question by Wednesday at 11:59 p.m. ET. This is worth 15 points. Posts need to be a minimum of two paragraphs of substance with appropriate citations to earn a grade of “C.” You can increase your grade with effort, even bring in outside sources (using citations), offer new insights, etc.

You must state and support your opinions using information from lectures and chapter readings. More points are awarded the more you incorporate from lectures and the textbook, and more points are awarded for originality. You are giving a personal opinion – there are no right or wrong answers. Remember to exercise respect – a disrespectful posting or response to another student’s posting can earn you a zero for the week. Grammar and sentence structure are important and part of the grade.
