The discussion board is an essential part of this course. You are required to make comments on the discussion board in each module. You should check the discussion board two or three times a week for comments. Access to the discussion board is always at the left of your screen. An assignment is a project that you submit for grading.
Assignments usually call for the submission of a two or three-page paper on an assigned topic.
Normally there are associated web sites listed as required reading. Each assignment has a series of questions. You are to respond to the questions and e-mail your responses to your instructor. Please do not place your assignments on the discussion board. Your assignments may be viewed as a substitute for testing in a traditional classroom environment.
