Business Formation and Employment

The student will complete 3 Discussions in this course. The student will first post a thread of at least 1000 words (content, not including references) by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of the assigned Module/Week. The following Module/Week, the student must post 2 replies of at least 450 words each by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday, except replies for the third discussion board, which are due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday of the final Module/Week.

For each thread and reply, analysis must be supported with a minimum of 3 scholarly sources other than the course textbook and materials. Each source must be cited in current APA format. Each thread and each reply must include both full citations in a reference list at the end of each post, and short-form in-text citations.

Acceptable sources include books, legal and business journals, legal cases, the law (cases, statutes, regulations, etc.), the Bible, biblical commentary, etc. Dictionaries and other web sources that lack scholarly support are not acceptable sources. Any sources cited must be current to the issue (e.g. Bible commentaries may by applicable from any age, but articles discussing current legal or healthcare practices may no longer be relevant after 5 or 10 years).

A well-developed, complete worldview analysis of the situation requires more than simply adding a Bible verse at the end of the post. Each thread must include at least 2 separate verses from Scripture, quoted and applied as an integral part of the discussion of the applicable issues in the context of a biblical worldview. Each reply will include at least 1 Scripture verse integrated in the same manner.
