responses are to be posted to the appropriate week’s discussion.
A competent response is 3-4 paragraphs which summarizes the relevant professional
and research literature and shows careful, thorough logical analysis. The concluding
paragraph ties together analysis from prior paragraphs and reaches a research-based
conclusion. The competent response is between 250-300 words and utilizes at least 2
references. Text reference citations and those in the reference list fully conform to the
APA style manual (5th ed.). When posting a response, the associated text box will have a
subject line. In the subject line text box, insert your last name and the word “Response.”
Do not post responses as an attached file.
Initial response will earn points as follows: full credit if it meets criteria defined above,

A competent peer response critiques a response in such a manner as to (1) identify and
correct faulty reasoning, (2) support a response, citing additional evidence; (3) extend a

other evidence with a contrasting perspective. The competent comment is between 75125 words and utilizes at least 1 reference. Text reference citations and those in the
reference list fully conform to the APA style manual (5th ed.). Comments must comply
with the “Don’ts” presented above. Peer responses will earn points as follows: full credit

ADA Policy
Students with disabilities who may need academic accommodation(s), should contact
Joanne MacEachran in SAB, Room 207, or email joanne.maceachran@saintleo.edu, or
call (352) 588-8464.
Attendance Policy
Students are expected to participate in a timely manner by attending face-to-face classes
and meeting posting and submission deadlines online; failure to do so to the professor’s
satisfaction may result in a loss of up to one full letter grade from the earned course final
mark. Work teams are strongly encouraged; students are expected to attend work team
meetings, chat sessions, and participate in discussions.
Late Work Policy
Generally, late work will not be accepted for credit. In extreme circumstances the
instructor may accept late work with a penalty if the student provides appropriate
documentation (for example, copies of hospital admission paperwork). No work will be
accepted after the end of the course unless arrangements have been made in advance.
Academic Honesty
The Academic Honor Code is published in its entirety in the Saint Leo University
Catalog. The first paragraph is quoted below.
As members of an academic community that places a high value on truth and the
pursuit of knowledge, Saint Leo University students are expected to be honest in
every phase of their academic life and present as their own work only that which
is genuinely theirs. Unless otherwise specified by the professor, students must
complete homework assignments by themselves (or if on a team assignment, with
only their team members). If they receive outside assistance of any kind, they are
expected to cite the source and indicate the extent of the assistance. Each student
has the responsibility to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity and
to refrain from cheating, plagiarism or any other forms of academic dishonesty.
