Discussion Board Forums Instructions

In Modules/Weeks 2, 4, 6, and 7, you will participate in a Discussion Board Forum based on concepts from the required reading for a given module/week, organizational situations from your own current, professional experience, and your own research. Each forum is completed in 2 parts: a thread and 2 replies to classmates’ threads. Below are the general requirements for each forum.

Note: The audio PointeCast lessons that are required for citing in both posts are not to be confused with the PowerPoint summaries from the textbook. Also, remember that a major theme of these lessons is how the biblical idea of covenant can provide a solid foundation for organizational leadership and behavior. When you cite them, make sure you build upon that major theme and apply it to the ideas in your posts.

Thread: Find a business problem from your own professional work experience or from peer-reviewed journal articles and apply 2 concepts in your thread from the required reading for that module/week. Each thread must be 500–750 words.

The following sources must be included in your thread:

• The textbook,
• At least 1 peer-reviewed journal article,
• 1 passage of Scripture, and
• At least 1 reference from the lesson presentation found in the corresponding modules/weeks in a manner that captures the essential ideas of those lessons.

If you choose to research a professional situation, you must cite all sources you used in current APA format.
