Remember that plagiarism includes copying and pasting material from the internet into assignments without properly citing the source of the material. Copying from an internet source and pasting is strictly forbidden.

All work must be organized and formatted consistent with the APA 6th edition style format (double spaced and references indented accordingly). All citations and references must be in the hanging indent format with the first line flush to the left margin and all other lines indented.

This is a scholarly post and your responses should have more depth than “I agree” and should demonstrate critical reflection of the problem in order to promote vigorous discussion of the topic within the forum.

For the discussion, students are expected to make a minimum of three posts on three days for EACH Topic.  Your initial post will be your answer to the Question and is to be 300 – 400 words with at least two references.  The remaining two posts will be comments engaged with your classmates in meaningful discussion, more than affirmation, on their post and the subject matter and be between 150 – 250 words.

Initial post will be graded on length, content, grammar and use of references. The initial post must be submitted by Wednesday at 11:59 PM EST, to allow students the opportunity to respond to it.

Using APA in discussion posts is very similar to using APA in a paper. And it helps to think of your discussion post as a short APA paper without a cover page. You need to cite your sources in your discussion post both in-text and in a references section. If you need help forming in-text citations, check out our in-text citation page on the APA guide.
