Your response needs to be substantive with examples, written on a college level (check for grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, etc.), and referencing the textbook. In addition, your grade is based on your reply to classmates, and you are expected to respond to at least two classmates. The response should support or challenge one of your classmates' posts, adding value to the conversation.

Here are some examples of writing a substantive response:

•  
• Ask an insightful and probing question to your classmate that deepens their level of reflection
•  
• Share how research supports or contradicts the posting
•  
• Share new insight
•  
• Validate an idea with your own life or work experience
•  
• Make a suggestion
•
