In your opinion, what was the best point made in the post? Explain why. We want to know your perspective on the topic based on your knowledge and experiences. Generic comments like: Wow, that’s interesting or Thanks for sharing do not count towards the minimum requirement.
\nPlease note: Your reply should be original and express your opinion. Read the replies before you post yours. Do not restate another student’s reply. You will need to add a new dimension or offer a new perspective on the topic. Reply to a different post if another student has already stated what you were going to say. Redundant replies will be downgraded.

Posts will be downgraded for the following reasons: not on the assigned topic, does not follow assignment format or word count instructions; does not provide specific information and examples; does not demonstrate a high level of analysis and reflection; duplicates another student’s post; or contains spelling, grammar or punctuation errors.
