Please be sure to read all instructions in regards to discussion questions.  You have a choice on which discussion question to initially respond to based on the date you chose. The question you are required to respond to must coincide with that day. You are not restricted to which question you can "reply" to after your initial response.  

All responses must be in proper APA format and adhere to requirements for a 400-level course and the grading rubric. At a minimum, your responses must be a paragraph, which is comprised of 4 complete, well-structured sentences with a minimum of 150 words. 

Your sources must be academic sources. Academic sources, also called scholarly sources, are sources that can include books, academic journal articles, and published expert reports. The content in academic sources has usually been peer-reviewed, which means that it's been reviewed by experts on its topic for accuracy and quality before being published. The Saint Leo library is an excellent reference library with access to academic sources.  

**No Websites can be used as sources for discussion questions**
