You should end the week with 3 total discussion posts.In order to receive full credit for the discussion posts, you must include at least two citations (APA) from academic resources (i.e. the textbook, University of the Cumberlands Library resources, etc.).

A quality post is more than stating, “I agree with you.” Maybe you should state why you agree with your classmate’s post. Additionally, please post some examples or find a related topic from the WWW or the University’s library and comment on it in the discussion post.
