Be sure to comment on at least two of your classmates' postings. Your response should be at least 5 sentences long. This includes responses to classmates' posts. Your replies must be more than a simple phrase like "I agree" or "I like your answers". Replies should reflect why you agree or like what has been posted.

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 your post.
Your initial posting is due on Monday by 11:59 pm CST. Your responses to 2 of your classmates are due on Saturday by 11:59 pm CST.
