What I$\text{'}$m Looking For In Discussions

When we have discussions I$\text{'}$m not just looking for a list of answers to the questions that are posed, although that is necessary. I$\text{'}$m looking for evidence that you really understand and have thought about the topic$($s$).$ Any questions I pose should be answered by your post$($s$),$ but they're really intended as $$ starting point to get you thinking.

If you've read the relevant material and really put some thought into it before you start writing you should have no problem writing a paragraph or two. Make sure to read the discussion grading rubric located in the main section of the course for a more detailed look at how your discussion posts will be graded.

In your follow up post, do not simply state that you agree or disagree, Tell us why.
