Substantial Responses

responses must be substantial and have depth – they should go beyond just agreeing. Your responses should stimulate further discussion on the topic. You can do this by one of three ways:

  • Asking a question to your classmate to further explore the topic.
  • Adding a video with APA reference that further explores the topic or a related topic or showcases an alternative view.
  • Adding a quote or citation from a scholarly source (articles and books by American researchers not websites or blogs) along with adding the APA reference at the end of your post.
