The instructor insight.    While the minimum requirement is an original and single response, one can get much more from the class by going beyond minimums and engaging in conversation with your professor or other students. I encourage one to go beyond the minimum and those that can engage in four or more posts will truly learn much more than what is just in the physical classroom or text books. I do give bonus points for extra work assuming quality, and good writing. I take the rubric seriously so I grade 20 percent of the post on style, format, and writing. So please use good paragraphs, don’t write in mounds of text, and bury ideas. Use salutations in both the subject line and the message. Use proper citations for any sources one uses. Never cut and paste from the web or other source and use it by itself as an original post, or response. Use direct quotes properly tied
