It must be no less than 300 words. This parameter helps to promote writing that is both thorough and yet concise enough to permit other students to read all the postings. Your thoughts and opinions need to be substantiated by research and literature. The purpose of this is to encourage you to contribute more content to the course. First-person voice is allowed. Each posting includes (but is not limited to) the degree to which the student:
Brings clarity to issues being discussed;
Raises new and novel (yet relevant) points;
Relates issues to Scripture/biblical principles and experience; and
Rationally defends her/his position.
Please avoid long quotes from scripture and other sources. A good rule of thumb is to have 300 words of your own writing in addition to quotes from God’s Word/external resources/course readings. Quotations usually should comprise of 10% or less of the total word count.
