Module 1 Discussion
In a post below, respond to the following prompt, which assesses course outcome # 4 and module learning objective # 5. Then, you must respond to one of your classmates' posts. After you post a response, you will be able to see other responses. You are not required to post more than once, but feel free to respond to other posts and engage with your classmates.
Your [first] post is due on [day of week] by [time] CST. Your response to another student is due on
[day of week] by [time] CST. [Adjust for number of posts required.]
Prompt
Answer the following and respond to at least one other students. Your response to your classmate must further discussion. A simple “I agree” or “Yes” or “LOL” will not count. Please think about the questions and your peers' responses and reply thoughtfully and courteously, according to netiquette rules. Use good English grammar, correct punctuation, and complete sentences. While the posts will mostly be judged by their thoughtfulness and completeness, I reserve the right to take off points for grammatical errors, especially if they interfere with the clarity of the post.
- How do you think that the anatomical position is used?
- If a doctor wanted to see both kidneys, which type of cut would they use?
- Exposure to a hot environment causes the body to sweat. The hotter the environment, the greater the sweating. Two anatomy and physiology students are arguing about the mechanism involved. Student A claims that it is positive feedback, and student B claims it is negative feedback. Do you agree with student A or student B, and why?

Details:
A forum for
discussion promotes peer-to-peer and student-instructor
interaction. Questions should be thought provoking and encourage detailed analysis of module topics. Include a rubric.
If
you do not want students to see other responses before they post, set
type to "Q and A forum." For this type, you must create a post first for students to
respond.
Subscription: Set to Auto.
Due dates: You cannot set due dates for forums, so be sure
to tell students when to post above. These dates will not appear on the Moodle calendar.
Ratings: will place the forum in the gradebook. Restricting ratings to a date range only affects when you can grade, and not when the activity is available to students.
Activity completion: You can select completion criteria and an expected completed date.
