Start reviewing and responding to the postings of your classmates as early in the week as possible. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ initial postings on different days of the week. Participate in the discussion by providing a statement of clarification, providing a point of view with a rationale, challenging an aspect of the discussion, or indicating a relationship between two or more lines of reasoning in the discussion. Additionally, you may want to ask questions of your classmates to solicit their points of view related to a topic or provide examples from your own experiences to demonstrate how topics are experienced in a real world setting. Cite sources in your responses to other classmates. Complete your participation for this assignment by the end of the week.
