Discussion Guiding Principles

The ideas and beliefs underpinning the discussions guide students through engaging dialogues as they achieve the desired learning outcomes/competencies associated with their course in a manner that  empowers them to organize, integrate, apply and critically appraise  their knowledge to their selected field of practice. The use of  discussions provides students with opportunities to contribute  level-appropriate knowledge and experience to the topic in a safe,  caring, and fluid environment that models professional and social  interaction. The ebb and flow of a discussion is based upon the  composition of student and faculty interaction in the quest for relevant  scholarship. Participation in the discussion generates opportunities  for students to actively engage in the written ideas of others by  carefully reading, researching, reflecting, and responding to the  contributions of their peers and course faculty. Discussions foster the  development of members into a community of learners as they share ideas  and inquiries, consider perspectives that may be different from their  own, and integrate knowledge from other disciplines.

Direct Quotes

Good writing calls for the limited use of direct quotes. Direct  quotes in discussions are to be limited to one short quotation (not to  exceed 15 words). The quote must add substantively to the discussion.  Points will be deducted under the grammar, syntax, APA category.
