Week 4 Discussion Board #2

The Discussion Board Posts are now a Team Assignment!

Each team will be responsible for posting an initial response to BOTH of the discussion board questions. This initial response needs to be posted by Wednesday. Each individual student then needs to respond to at least TWO of their peers’ comments with at least one of those responses being under each discussion board question.
