Respond to my classmate using the instructions listed below:
Forums are scholarly dialogs, so while sharing what you think and not just what published authors wrote, only stating opinion isn’t acceptable. Quoting of authors is not allowed in forum posts. This because your professor needs to see what you know, not what somebody else said. You will need to, paraphrase (summarize in your own words) what you read. No popular media such as Psychology Today or .com websites, unless the latter is required by your professor for a particular forum; Wikipedia or other encyclopedia sites such as Encarte; dictionaries, article abstracts or About.com type websites that do summary work for you may be used for writing forum posts
Your responses to the postings to my classmate should be relevant and substantive. Reply posts containing just a few sentences or statements of agreement or disagreement only or that stray away from the topic or repeat what another classmate has already said in his or her posts cannot be assigned points. You have to write the response like I am speaking directly to them.
This is the original discussion board question: (DO NOT ANSWER THIS QUESTION) **READING PURPOSES
