A key focus is your ability to present your position in your own words, which is why no more than 10% of the post should be a direct quote. Paraphrasing is the best alternative). APA citations are not required. However, if you use an outside source, make reference in some manner to that source just as you would in a verbal conversation.
Participation as a Member of the Learning Community – Discussion postings actively stimulate and sustain further discussion by building on peers’ responses including building a focused argument around a specific issue or asking a new related question or making an oppositional statement supported by personal experience or related research.
