RESPONSE POSTS:In addition to the weekly initiator post, you’ll write at leastten response posts each week (for a total of 11 weekly contributions: 1 initiator post 10 response posts = 11). A response post is one that replies to a classmate’s post and continues the conversation. One that ends the conversation or just says “I agree” in so many words does not qualify as a response. Good posts carry on the conversation in an interesting and relevant way and draw other students into the discussion. The minimum requirements for receiving credit for a response post are the following: 1.The post is 50 words.2.The post is relevant to the thread.3.The last sentence is a question. Posts under 50 words don’t count toward the required number of response posts. If you happen to post a few that are under 50 words, just make sure to post a few extra posts that are 50 words. If some of your posts don’t end in a question, a deduction of 1 pointwill be applied to the response post grade. The penalty for not spacing out your posts over three days will be applied to the response post grade as a3 point deduction. If you are very active on the discussion board and far exceed the minimum requirements, you may receive extra credit.
