Assignment Details
You will select 1 of the 4 topics for your Discussion Board (DB). Please read the instructions for the DB assignments carefully as they are different from your other classes that you have had DBs in.
Selecting one of the four topics, you will be required to submit a 300-word minimum main topic posting. Your initial posting should be analytical, persuasive, or reflective in nature. Keep in mind that you will be choosing a different topic for your Individual Project (IP). Please add your references to the main topic posting (required). You are encouraged to do research on the topic from other resources. Each classmate’s response should be a minimum of 100 words per response. Your option is to respond to postings that concern your main topic selection, or you may respond to postings from classmates that have to do with one of the other two topics.
