No required readings for forum 1.

The student will then post replies to at least two other students’ threads. The replies need to be at least 100 words minimum. Each discussion requires the usage of appropriate professional etiquette. Each forum must be completed by the end of the modules indicated in the course syllabus. Students should use the specified readings along with any other academic sources they may wish to use. References will be used and cited in normal APA formatting. Be sure to include word count on each posting.
The student should research each prompt using textbooks, reference material provided in the course, and their own research. Be sure to answer each question fully. What does the research say and what do you think, and why? Original post will need references and it is encouraged to try and include references in responses when possible. Read all postings and be sure to read my postings to everyone.
