One original post (50-150 words) discussing the prompt
Minimum two replies to classmates

REDO POLICY
If you get less than a 60% grade on a quiz you may ask for a copy of my booster doc.
If you get a low score on a test you can retake version B.
Discussion posts can always be edited.
ACADEMIC HONESTY
Your work should be written by you. Plagiarism is when you copy without
giving credit to the original author. Citing sources at the end of a paper is
not the same as giving credit. Let’s look at a site together:
