Unit Discussion Questions:
Class participation will be valued at 300 points (30% of the final grade). The course has 5 units of study and research. At the beginning
of the course, the learner and faculty member will determine a schedule that best fits the learner’s life pressures (usually within a 10-
week duration). Based on this agreed upon schedule, the faculty will hold the learner accountable to the agreed upon schedule of unit
completions, keep in mind you have 3 months at most to complete this course.
Please keep the responses to approximately 300-500 words per discussion (DO NOT exceed 500 words per unit DQ). Use examples
to illustrate your understanding. Also, be sure to cite properly with every response, since this is a very basic skill and something that
makes your writing look like a scholar.

automatically notify your professor; feedback from your professor will occur within 7 business days. ...Read Less
