Discussion on intermediate criminal sanctions response

Question

Students are then required to post a minimum of two comments in response to other student posts. Responsive posts should be a minimum of 100 words each. Responsive posts are          judged on whether or not they contribute in a meaningful way toward the overall discussion. Hence, simply agreeing or disagreeing with someone else’s post, without providing an             intelligent justification as to why, does not satisfy the responsive posting requirement.

Students should primarily discuss their own ideas. These ideas, of course, should be               informed by material within the text, as well as other academic sources. Hence, when           developing original posts, it is necessary that students cite (using proper APA format) at         least one source of information other than their textbook. (Please use both in-text and           reference section citing for each source used.) The use of properly cited quotes within any   post is perfectly acceptable; however, the use of excessive quotes may distract from the        originality of your post and result in a lower overall grade. Plagiarism, of course, nets              absolutely no grade at all.
