Guidelines
Original discussion posts:
Answer both the questions in one single post rather than respond to each question in different posts.
You should answer all parts of the questions you chose to answer.
Number your answers corresponding to the prompt numbers listed above, and split your answers into separate paragraphs.
Use of concepts and theories wherever relevant is highly recommended for full grade. It will also help you in your exams and while writing your essay.
Students must first post their answers before they can view or reply to other students’ posts.
