Important information for creating discussion questions and participating in discussions
Hello and welcome to class.
Hello and welcome to the class; I will be your teacher for this course. This is a -week course that requires a significant amount of time commitment, organization, and dedication. Please use the class syllabus to guide you through all of the course assignments. I’ve also attached the classroom policies to this announcement so you know what to expect from this course. Please read this document carefully and contact me if you have any questions. If you need to contact me, you can email me at any time or send me a message via the “message” icon in Halo. Because I check my email frequently, you should receive a response within 24 hours. If you haven’t heard from me within 24 hours and need to reach me right away, please text me at
I strongly advise you not to leave your assignments until the very last minute. You will need to present a teaching plan and interview a community health provider for your assignments in weeks 4 and 5. I recommend that you review the requirements for these assignments at the start of the course and plan accordingly. I’ve included a YouTube link that goes over all of the class assignments in detail. This 32-minute video is required viewing because the assignments from weeks 3 through 5 require you to follow the instructions to the letter in order to succeed. Failure to complete these assignments in accordance with the instructions may result in a zero. Please schedule a one-on-one meeting with me after watching the video to discuss your project topic by the second week of class. To schedule a 15-minute session, click on this link. Please contact me at the time of your appointment using my phone number. Please keep in mind that I will NOT call you.
Please be aware that I DO NOT accept assignments via email. If you are having technical difficulties uploading an assignment, please contact the technical department and notify me of the problem. If you have any problems getting your assignments to me by the deadline, please let me know so that I can request an extension. Working full-time or overtime is not an excuse for late assignments. Every day your assignment is late will result in a 5% point deduction. This applies only to approved extensions. Late assignments will be rejected.
If you believe you may require accommodations for any reason, please contact the appropriate department to make a request.
Plagiarism is strictly forbidden. Please ensure that you are correctly citing your sources using APA 7th edition. All assignments, including discussion posts, should be formatted in APA style, with the proper spacing, font, margin, and indents. Any papers that are not properly formatted will be returned to you; therefore, I recommend that you review the APA formatting style. I’ve attached an APA sample paper and will post sample discussion responses in subsequent announcements.

I strongly encourage that you do not wait until the very last minute to complete your assignments. Your assignments in weeks 4 and 5 require early planning as you would need to present a teaching plan and interview a community health provider. I advise you look at the requirements for these assignments at the beginning of the course and plan accordingly. I have posted the YouTube link that explains all the class assignments in detail. It is required that you watch this 32-minute video as the assignments from week 3 through 5 require that you follow the instructions to the letter to succeed. Failure to complete these assignments according to instructions might lead to a zero. After watching the video, please schedule a one-on-one with me to discuss your topic for your project by the second week of class. Use this link to schedule a 15-minute session. Please, call me at the time of your appointment on my number. Please note that I will NOT call you.

Please, be advised I do NOT accept any assignments by email. If you are having technical issues with uploading an assignment, contact the technical department and inform me of the issue. If you have any issues that would prevent you from getting your assignments to me by the deadline, please inform me to request a possible extension. Note that working fulltime or overtime is no excuse for late assignments. There is a 5%-point deduction for every day your assignment is late. This only applies to approved extensions. Late assignments will not be accepted.

If you think you would be needing accommodations due to any reasons, please contact the appropriate department to request accommodations.

Plagiarism is highly prohibited. Please ensure you are citing your sources correctly using APA 7th edition. All assignments including discussion posts should be formatted in APA with the appropriate spacing, font, margin, and indents. Any papers not well formatted would be returned back to you, hence, I advise you review APA formatting style. I have attached a sample paper in APA format and will also post sample discussion responses in subsequent announcements.

Your initial discussion post should be a minimum of 200 words and response posts should be a minimum of 150 words. Be advised that I grade based on quality and not necessarily the number of words you post. A minimum of TWO references should be used for your initial post. For your response post, you do not need references as personal experiences would count as response posts. If you however cite anything from the literature for your response post, it is required that you cite your reference. You should include a minimum of THREE references for papers in this course. Please note that references should be no more than 5 years old except recommended as a resource for the class. Furthermore, for each discussion board question, you need ONE initial substantive response and TWO substantive responses to either your classmates or your instructor for a total of THREE responses. There are TWO discussion questions each week, hence, you need a total minimum of SIX discussion posts for each week. I usually post a discussion question each week. You could also respond to these as it would count towards your required SIX discussion posts for the week.

I understand this is a lot of information to cover in 5 weeks, however, the Bible says in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us. Even in times like this, we are encouraged by God’s word that we have that ability in us to succeed with His strength. I pray that each and every one of you receives strength for this course and life generally as we navigate through this pandemic that is shaking our world today. Relax and enjoy the course!

Your initial discussion post should be at least 200 words long, and your response posts should be at least 150 words long. Please keep in mind that I grade based on quality rather than the number of words you post. Your first post should include at least TWO references. You do not need references for your response post because personal experiences count as response posts. However, if you cite anything from the literature in your response post, you must cite your source. For papers in this course, you should include at least THREE references. Please keep in mind that references should be no more than 5 years old, unless they are recommended as a class resource. Furthermore, you must provide ONE initial substantive response and TWO substantive responses to either your classmates or your instructor for a total of THREE responses for each discussion board question. Because there are TWO discussion questions each week, you’ll need a total of SIX discussion posts per week. Every week, I post a discussion question. You could also respond to these, which would count as one of your SIX required discussion posts for the week.
I realize this is a lot to cover in 5 weeks, but the Bible says in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Even in difficult times, God’s word gives us hope that we have the ability to succeed with His help. I pray for each of you to find strength for this course and for life in general as we navigate this pandemic that is shaking our world today. Relax and have fun with the course!
