Discussions for our class will be graded - they will contribute 10% of your final grade in the course. You will be given a discussion question that you will respond to. Then, at your discretion (based on the grade you would like for the discussion) - you will respond to up to 3 additional classmates on their discussion post. Each discussion is worth 4 points total. The grading scale is based on the following:

1. Your own individual response only - 1 points

2. Your own individual response and responding to 1 additional classmate - 2 points

3. Your own individual response and responding to 2 additional classmates - 3 points

4. Your own individual response and responding to 3 additional classmates - 4 points

5. NO RESPONSE - 0 points
