elaboration of thinking, or there is excessive quoting from the
readings without any significant supporting evidence of the topic.
- Discussion postings include unclear questions that do not move
beyond yes or no answers and/or fail to respond to classmates'
postings.
- No evidence of critical analysis of a posted idea with no clear connections drawn to professional practice.
- Late or so far at the end of the unit as to make no meaningful contribution.
- Does not respond to discussions.

Late policy:
Work that is submitted within 1 week of the close of a module will be penalized one point. In other words, you need to be on time to earn 100% and have only one week to make up late work. Late work will not be accepted after 1 week unless previously approved by the instructor.
