\nThe 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.
\nAt 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.
\nThe 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. Students are to complete a 4-5 paragraph paper.
\nSearch the library and Internet for some examples of intermediate punishment and alternatives to traditional probation and parole practices. \u2022Provide details about at least 2 of these programs, and explain how well they have worked.
\n\u2022Do you think any of these alternatives would be effective\u2014even more so than traditional probation or parole practices? Explain.
\n\u2022How could they be made more effective?
\nSuggestions for Responding to Peer Posts
\n\u2022How do his or her views correlate with your own? If they are similar, what arguments can you add?
\n\u2022If his or her views differ, did the arguments used make you rethink your position in any way? If so, how?
\nBe sure to cite all references in APA format (if applicable).
\nThe following grading criteria will be used for this assignment.
\n\u202240%: Provide at least 2 examples of either intermediate punishment or alternative sentencing.
\n\u202210%: Based on the example you choose, indicate whether you believe that the alternative is effective or not.
\n\u202230%: The example should support your conclusion unless you provide additional evidence supporting their claim.
\n\u202220%: Responses to Peer Posts
\nIn your own words, please post a response to the Discussion Board and comment on at least two other postings. You will be graded on the quality of your postings.
