TRMA 820 - Disaster Mental Health and Community Response

TRMA 820 Discussion Board Forums (3)

The goal of this course’s Discussion Board Forums is to engage in an enjoyable, meaningful conversation simulating a classroom environment. Therefore, the student will be using all the technical means available to make this both a fun and academically thought-provoking experience. The student will create a thread in response to the provided prompt for each forum. The post may be a video, narrated PowerPoint, or other related communication software product that you like and would be effective in conveying your ideas. It also may be a written post of 300–400 words and include at least 2 scholarly sources and integrate a Christian worldview. Either format must demonstrate course-related knowledge.

In addition to the thread, the student will have a conversation with at least 2 of his or her your peers. The student will reply to all classmates who ask questions about his or her thread and reply to 2 or more other classmates’ threads. The replies may be in similar formats described for the thread (video, narrated PowerPoint, etc.) or can be written replies of 50 or more words. The word count is not as important as the quality of the content to move the conversation forward in exploring the forum’s topic. See the Discussion Board Forum Instructions on Blackboard for further information. (MLO: B, C, & D)
