  8. How To Do Well In Class Discussion: • Post early: • Your Initial Post must be made no later than Saturday, 11.59pm ET. The earlier the better! Posts must be made on at least 3 different days. This is expected to be an on-going discussion! • Respond to at least two classmates or the instructor. • Be sure your Initial Discussion Post is at least 100 words in length. • Check out the key terms at the end of each unit– try to incorporate them. • Use web-based researchwhere appropriate to make a point. If you use referenced material, this must be correctly cited. • Be thoughtful, thorough, and substantive. The posts should address the discussion questions or weekly topics. • Check frequently to see if anyone has asked questions. • Spell check your posts! Proper grammar and punctuation are required. • Pay attention to the rubric in your syllabus

  9. Your Third Weekly Activity: Homework Assignments! • Exercises may consist of answering questions in a text chapter, writing a paper, or completing some other assignment.

  10. How to Do Well in Homework Assignments: • You are encouraged to begin using APA formatting • APA style means that you are required to include: • A title page • The paper itself • A references page • A title pagecontains three items: the paper's title, the date and the author's name. • The last thing required is the references page. • Sources should be alphabetized by the author's last name (or, for sources without authors, by the first letter in the title). • The second line of each source should be indented a half inch (the first line is not indented).

  11. How To Do Well In Homework Assignments (Continued) • Be sure your response adequately answers the assignment question(s). • Be sure your Homework Assignment is well-written without spelling errors and using complete sentences. • Be sure your assignment is submitted to the correct Dropbox as an attachment in MS Word (.doc or .docx) format. • Be sure your file is named using the correct Kaplan file naming convention. (This will be covered in Unit 2).
