DQ (2), (2) Responses to Students

This requires a substantive, referenced written response demonstrating an understanding of the concepts being discussed. Respond to (2) students responses in a substantive way. Your responses should contribute scholarly to the discussion by challenging a position, providing additional support, or taking the debate in a new but reasonable direction. “Me too” responses are unacceptable; open dialogue creates an opportunity to engage with and learn from your fellow course participants.
