Discussion Assignment Instructions

In Module 2: Week 2's Course Project: Develop a Topic Assignment, you identified a topic that exists in your field of study. In your own words, explain the topic you identified to your classmates and discuss the reasons you selected that specific topic. Share any personal experiences and observations that led you to choose this topic. Explain why the topic is important to address and use references to support your claims. Offer a Biblical worldview perspective on the topic and use Biblical references to support your claims.

The topic: The Impact of Technology on Academic Achievement

YOU ARE JUST DOING THE DISCUSSION NOT THE REPLIES.

You will complete two Discussions in this course. For each Discussion, you will post one thread of at least 400 words by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Thursday of the assigned Module: Week. You must then post two replies of at least 200 words by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of the assigned Module: Week with the exception of Module 8: Week 8, which is due on Friday. For each thread, you must support your assertions with at least two scholarly citations in addition to the Bible in current APA format. Any sources used in replies must also be referenced in current APA format. First-person is allowed in your posts.

For your replies, note that responses such as “I like what you said,” “That is a good comment,” and “I disagree with your comment” do not count as complete replies in and of themselves. Rather, state why you liked or disliked a peer’s thread, present additional thoughts or ideas, and provide alternative ideas/thoughts when you disagree. Courtesy in any disagreement is expected; however, you are expected to know and maintain proper online etiquette as outlined on the Student Expectations page in the Course Overview.

One of the goals of the Discussions is to encourage student community learning; thus, not every Discussion will have a comment from the instructor. Rather, the instructor will respond to a few posts in a way that adds to the conversation, asks a pertinent question, or summarizes some of the key points made by yourself or a classmate. Note that deadlines and other guidelines are meant to encourage optimal dialogue and demonstration of critical thought.

See the Discussion Grading Rubric for further details.
