Also, the content of the Forum Assignment will often ask the student to take a position on a particular topic. However, this is not a strict opinion paper in which the student can just make a statement of what you think or what your experiences are on a topic. Instead, the student needs to support their opinion or experiences with qualifying research from an academic source. APA 6th edition citations and references must be used always!
