Response Guidelines

Read your peers' discussion posts and respond to at least two of them. Do you see any connections between your research question and others? Did you find any journals or resources that would also support your peers' research interests? Were there any strategies you thought were particularly useful in selecting and refining your topic, creating a research question, or locating research that could help your peers?

Be sure to provide substantive responses to help your peers build on their learning and reference any relevant assigned readings, additional resources, or professional literature to support your response.
