Discussions are collaborative learning experiences. Therefore, the student will create a thread in response to the provided prompt for each forum. Each thread must be 600 words and demonstrate course-related knowledge. Major points are supported by all of the following:

Learn materials; pertinent, conceptual, or personal examples; thoughtful analysis (considering assumptions, analyzing implications, and comparing/contrasting concepts). 

For each thread, students must support their assertions with at least two (2) peer-reviewed source citations in current APA format and the integration of one (1) biblical principle.  No notable spelling and/or grammar errors.  Please see the grading rubric for assignment requirements, which includes additional guidance on word counts.

In addition to the original post, the student will reply to the posts of at least 2 (two) classmates. Each reply must be 250 words.  Each reply must also be unique, not recycling the student’s original post or the student’s other response.  Major points are supported by all of the following:

Learn materials; pertinent, conceptual, or personal examples; thoughtful analysis (considering assumptions, analyzing implications, and comparing/contrasting concepts).  Each reply must incorporate at least two (2) peer-reviewed source citations in current APA format AND the integration of one (1) biblical principle. 

No notable spelling and/or grammar errors. Please see the grading rubric for response requirements, which includes additional guidance on word counts.
