REPLIES-Discussion: U.S. Founding Through Progressive Movement

Discussion Assignment Instructions

• Replies: Post 2 replies of at least 150 words each using at least one reference.

References & Citations: All Discussion posts—both initial threads and replies—require an in-text citation and a reference at the bottom. Include at least one reference for each post. You may cite the textbook, academic journal articles, course videos, and relevant books.

To cite does not necessarily mean to quote. Direct quotes should be used sparingly and should make up no more than 10% of your work. It is always preferable to paraphrase, analyze, and synthesize in your own words and to cite the source of ideas being discussed. Ensure all citations are in proper APA format.

General Guidelines: Statements such as “I like what you said,” “That is a good comment,” and “I disagree with your comment” do not count as complete replies in and of themselves. Rather, state why you liked or disliked a peer’s thread with proper rationale to justify your response. Present additional thoughts or ideas and provide alternative viewpoints. Courtesy in any disagreement is expected; see the Student Expectations for more information on proper online etiquette.
