I strongly encourage that you do not wait until the very last minute to complete your assignments.

Plagiarism is highly prohibited. Please ensure you are citing your sources correctly using APA 7th edition.

Be advised that I grade based on quality and not necessarily the number of words you post. A minimum of TWO references should be used for your initial post.

Please note that references should be no more than 5 years old except recommended as a resource for the class. Furthermore, for each discussion board question, you need ONE initial substantive response and TWO substantive responses to either your classmates or your instructor for a total of THREE responses.

You could also respond to these as it would count towards your required SIX discussion posts for the week.

The purpose of this application

I understand this is a lot of information to cover in 5 weeks, however, the Bible says in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us.
