CRISIS AND TRAUMA Module 3 Discussion

Discussion Assignment Instructions

The student will post one original thread of 400-450 words of the assigned module. For each original thread, students must support their assertions with at least 2 scholarly citations from peer-reviewed journals in APA format. Any sources cited must have been published within the last five years. Acceptable sources include course texts, other scholarly texts, or peer-reviewed journal articles.

Before you post, be sure to read carefully the Discussion Board Assignment Instructions and review the Discussion Grading Rubric, so that you understand the specifics and details of what is required. A very large part of your grade will be determined by how well you fulfill the instructions and grading rubric requirements.

Also, please note that direct quotations are not allowed; graduate level writing expects a student to incorporate ideas and terminology from the readings into the student’s own analysis and words. Short Bible verses are ok to quote directly.                                                                                                                                                                                                                              ee your manual for when to use italics in journal articles. Also, drop the place of publication in Levers as APA-7 doesn’t do that anymore.
