2. Use headings: based on the bulleted prompts of the Discussion (the rubric asks for both following directions and peer response. Consider these points as part of the directions of the assignment in addition to what is listed in your peers post or the Professor’s question.

4. Need to be factual and thoughtful—that is they should refer to the week’s readings, relevant issues in the news, information obtained from other sources, and/or ideas expressed in other class members’ postings.
5. Think about how professionally useful your response is… does the response stimulate discussion? Does the response encourage the individual to consider a different point of view or a different way to get to the same answer?
6. Ask a question: Use this as an opportunity to invite your colleague into a professional discussion. This can be easily incorporated into your response and allows your colleagues an opportunity to give you feedback as well.
