Week 7 Discussion Board #1

Remember, you each need to post a response to ONE of the two discussion board questions with a source citation in APA formatting. This initial response needs to be posted by Wednesday. You then need to respond to THREE of your peers’ comments, with at least one of those responses being under the discussion board question that you didn’t respond to with a citation in APA formatting, by the end of the week.  As a TEAM, you need to make sure your team has posted a response with a citation in APA formatting for both of the discussion board questions.

Example:  Sarah, Dr. Mathis, and I are on Team Z. Sarah posts a full response to Discussion Board Question #1 for Week 2, and Dr. Mathis posts a full response to Discussion Board Question #2. Technically, Team Z has met its team requirement to post at least one full response to each discussion board question. I can choose to post a full response to either Discussion Board Question #1 or #2. Then all three of us need to make sure we respond to at least three other classmates’ posts.

Student success is defined in many different ways by different students. Some advocates say colleges should focus on whatever goal a student has, even if that goal is just taking one class. Others argue that economic data show a student needs to complete a degree and/or transfer to earn a living wage. How important is it to focus on program completion and transition, either in the workforce or transfer?
