Please on initial posts, start with number of question. Responders then reply under that question.

The discussion board grade will be based on attendance and discussions indicative of review of assigned readings and thoughtful analyses of literature in relation to advantages and disadvantages of various course topics.  The class has been assigned to groups alphabetically based on your last name. There are 3 or 4 students in your group. Each group has its own conversation. You are assigned to the role of initial poster, 1^st responder, or 2^nd responder for the question number below. Your grade will be based on your overall performance on the assignment.

 Your due time is no later than 11:59pm with initial post due January 22^nd , 1^st responder by January 24^th, and 2^nd responder by January 26^th.   It is to your advantage to complete your section sooner if possible so those give their response time to do so.
