Response Posts

To earn full credit, you need to engage with a minimum of two other students' posts by 11:509 p.m (ET) Sunday.

As you comment on other students' posts:

• Relate an insight or lesson learned from your own experience that pertains to their scenarios.
• Your replies should add value to the conversation by adding insight, drawing parallels, asking questions, or otherwise sharing what you learned from your peers' posts. Simply agreeing with prior posts is not enough.
• Note: You do not have to include formal citations if referencing course-provided materials, but citations should be included if you draw on outside materials.
