For this discussion, you must state your position and supporting rationale. You also must respond to the positions and rationales posted by the other students and to the questions/comments posted in response to your comments. You are expected to check the discussion and post substantive comments/questions at least two-three times per week (at appropriate intervals) to participate fully in this discussion. Remember, discussions are designed to be student-moderated -- i.e., you are responsible for helping one another work through the discussion. I will be checking in frequently but I'm here primarily as a guide and will post comments only when necessary.
