Description

The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion. At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts from students. The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Friday of each week. Two additional responses are required after Friday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often, as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation. The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.

THE BILL OF RIGHTS AND THE RIGHTS OF PRISONERS
The Bill of Rights and the rights of prisoners
The rights of prisoners in the US are largely based on the US Bill of Rights. Having
been developed in the late 18th century, the Constitution’s initial articles and amendments

countries, the US is governed by the rule of law, and that is implemented through the various
arms of the government, some of which are elected by the public while the rest are appointed
by various bodies of the government. However, even with the government in control of the
running of the country, the Bill of Rights guarantees each individual a set of rights that not
even the government can go against unless they are in contravention of a different set. While
the prisoners may not enjoy similar rights to other free citizens, the basic rights are
