Read a selection of your classmates’ posts and respond to at least two of your classmates on two different days by expanding upon their reflections, making connections to your perceptions, and offering additional insights.
Note: Your responses to classmates should be substantial (250 words minimum), supported with scholarly evidence from your research and/or the Learning Resources, and properly cited using APA Style. Personal anecdotes are acceptable as part of a meaningful response, but cannot stand alone as a response.

* Additionally, you must respond to your professor if they ask a question or comment on your post.
