April 17,2013 Due Date

The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning.
Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation
of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every
student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB
question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others
throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed
based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the
discussion.
