Discussions (3)
Discussions are collaborative learning experiences. Therefore, the student is required to create a thread in response to the provided prompt for each discussion. The student will take part in 3 Discussions in which he/she will post a thread presenting his/her own opinion on the assigned topic, writing 400–500 words. Then, the student will post replies of 200–250 words each to 2 or more classmates’ discussions. Each reply must be unique and must integrate ideas (and citations) from the required reading. Merely posting the same reply in 2 places is not sufficient and may be treated as a form of academic misconduct. The original thread must incorporate ideas and citations from all of the required readings and presentations for that Module: Week. It must also address statecraft as part of a meaningful discussion of effective statesmanship. The reply posts must also integrate ideas and citations from the required readings and presentations for the Module: Week. Use only peer reviewed sources (no encyclopedias, websites, dictionaries, or Wikipedia). Use proper APA current edition referencing and cites.
