responses for each discussion question to different classmates (one per
classmate) as outlined in the Discussion Grading Rubric. Four

of one short paragraph. Word totals for these posts should be in the

already stated. Explain the ‘why and how’ with supporting evidence and
concepts from the course materials. Include in-text citations and
