Discussion Board Instructions

The purpose of your discussion board forums are to create an atmosphere that you and your classmates can have some meaningful reflection and application on what is being learned in your course. You will have 4 discussion boards in which you will discuss different aspects of your reading.

It is important for you to remember:

For your thread:

• You will contribute meaningful, lively discussion posts in answers to one of the assigned questions in each forum
• Every initial thread should be between 500–700 words and must contain real business examples from reputable business sources, include research from:
• 2 scholarly sources,
• The PointeCast presentations and/or the video presentation
• Incorporate major ideas from the chapter of the textbook in which the question was taken, and
• Integrate biblical ideas (the PointeCaste and video presentations provide solid Biblical analysis, which is why they are required).
• To focus on specific points of application for corporate responsibility. You should not speak in vague terms while answering the questions.
• Please refer to the “Guidelines for Use of Sources” document found with the Discussion Board instructions and rubric to make sure you understand how to recognize a scholarly source. 
• Please note that the PointeCaste presentations and/or video that are required for use are NOT the same as the PowerPoint chapter summaries for each chapter.  The former obviously contains audio/video as well as Biblical integration; the latter is just a summary of ideas provided by the textbook company.
• Failure to use all required sources will significantly hurt your grade.

You will be submitting your discussion board thread in 2 areas:

1.      In the actual discussion board area (not as an attachment), and;

2.      As an attachment submitted through SafeAssign (which is a plagiarism program).  There is a separate SafeAssign link for discussion board thread and response post for each week.  Failure to submit via SafeAssign will result in a grade penalty.

Post your answers to the assigned questions in your thread by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Weeks 1, 3, 5, & 7

For your replies:

• You will reply to 2 classmates. Every reply should be 300 words and should advance the conversation further by providing new ideas and insights, asking probing questions that get to the heart of critical issues, and share from one’s personal and professional experience.  For the purposes of citations, every reply must include:
• At least 1 scholarly article;
• A relevant business article (any article from a reputable business source—website, magazine, book, etc.—that discusses a relevant business/ethical issue) and;
• The PointeCast or video presentation assigned for that unit’s discussion board.
• Remember to provide new ideas, research, and analysis that create a clear dialogue with your classmate’s ideas.  Go beyond providing basic definitions to topics being discussed—that is information that should have been provided in the original post.  Your replies should not read as just another thread, nor should it merely regurgitate and restate what your classmate has said, or what you said in your own thread from the week before, for that matter. 
• Please refer to the “Guidelines for Use of Sources” document found with the Discussion Board instructions and rubric to make sure you understand how to recognize a scholarly source. 
• Please note that the PointeCaste presentations and/or video that are required for use are NOT the same as the PowerPoint chapter summaries for each chapter.  The former obviously contains audio/video as well as Biblical integration; the latter is just a summary of ideas provided by the textbook company.
• Failure to use all required sources will significantly hurt your grade.

You will be submitting your discussion board responses in 2 areas:

1.      In the actual discussion board area (not as an attachment)

2.      And as ONE attachment submitted through SafeAssign (which is a plagiarism program).  BOTH response posts must be submitted in one Word document into SafeAssign.  There is a separate SafeAssign link for discussion board thread and response post for each week. Failure to submit via SafeAssign will result in a grade penalty.
