Originality: Student has been original and has offered quality of thought, value added to the discussion, detail, commitment, effort; the contribution is interesting, important, relevant, and has not required external support.  There is originality, creativity, an innovative quality to the post, or a personal connection that has a universal application.  The student has elevated the course morally, ethically, academically, and intellectually and has interacted with a peer to mutual benefit.
AND/OR:
External source: If the student uses a source, s/he identifies cited material correctly both in-text and in a final reference in the discussion or on a slide.  The student uses the source appropriately--the text of the cited material is made with care; sources are meaningfully analyzed and presented. In-text and full citations appear clearly. Analysis follows the 2x material formula, in which there is approximately twice as much analysis as there is quoted material from the student. The source is credible and/or academic scholarly (preferred).
