At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an
original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the
weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts from students. The
first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Wednesday
of each week. Two additional responses are required after Wednesday of each
week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early
and often, as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance
and participation.

The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to
learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content
and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue
after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the
end of each week.

whether you would recommend this business to use cash rebates.
