Saudi Electronic University Academic Writing Standards and APA Style Guidelines: Templates & Examples

Approach your discussion assignments as you would a conversation. You are expected to express your own thoughts and analysis regarding the topic or in response to discussion questions. Your posting should incorporate information from credible sources to support your statements.

- When posting responses and engaging with your classmates, ask questions that expand and continue the conversation. Dig deeper into the topic and perspectives presented to gain further understanding, more information that can be applied to real life situations, and insight into the thoughts and perspectives of others.

- In-text citations as well as references must be met in all posts when required by course.

- Be sure to check the discussion posting rubric to make sure you are meeting expectations.
