Notes from the teacher on what she expects on the Discussions this goes for both discussions

In order to achieve full points under ‘General Content/Subject Knowledge' your initial DB should include relevant, professional, or other real-world experiences in a manner that is rich in thought and provides insight into the given topic.

Your initial post does not reflect your level of understanding of this topic and/or all aspects of the topic were not addressed. Keep in mind, when using citations, to think of them as your back-up singers, you want to hear them a little, every now and then, but they are there to support the main singer (you!).

In order to achieve full points under ‘Critical Thinking' your initial DB needs to comprehensively explore the ideas, thoughts and elements of the topic with evidence. This is accomplished by including at least two examples (i.e. citations) from reliable sources within your initial post to validate and support your original thoughts.

THIS IS A TWO PART DISCUSSION. NEEDS TO BE ON SEPARATE PAGES. READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY.
