Week 6 Forum:
This week, our readings focus on performance-enhancing drugs in sports and depressants and inhalants. After considering these topics, what would be the single most important point about them that you would want to discuss with: a pre-teen, a high school-aged boy, and a college-aged woman? How would you have those conversations? Do you think we, as a society, should do a better job of education on these issues, or is the amount of education we do adequate?
General Instructions Applicable to All Forums
One “Initial Post” in response to your instructor’s instructions (located on the Forum in your online classroom) is due by Wednesday by 11:55 p.m., ET. This post must be a minimum of 300 words in length. At least three (3) replies to a classmate’s post of your choice is due no later than Sunday by 11:55p.m. Reply posts must be a minimum of 200 words. Point assignment is based on these requirements and the Discussion Forum rubric below.
Because scholarly discussion and related student interaction within a learning community are such essential aspects of online learning, participation is graded and required.
Forum post source citation is not required for forum posting in our class. This is because we are engaging in conversation that happens to be in writing form, not composing essays or research papers. You will, however, need to paraphrase (restate in your own words) any words of published authors in parts of your posts that are based on their work. Copying of published material, which is plagiarism, is prohibited and any instances of it, including forum posts, will result in a zero score without an option for re-submission to recoup lost points and a report sent to the Registrar’s Office per University policy.
Discussion forum posts will be graded on verbal expression, critical thinking, making an effort to not just participate in but contribute to the dialog with initial and reply posts of a substantive nature commensurate with graduate level studies. Posts must have correct grammatical construction, spelling, and punctuation with no texting or other casual style language.
