Initial posting: . Your initial discussion posting should be a question that you are interested in learning more about. For example, I would like to improve my golf game. My question would be “What are effective techniques that can be used to improve a golf game?”

The subsequent discussion postings would be ideas to help set up a study that would answer your question and help your colleagues set up their study as well. Be sure to post how you would set up your study as well as you must respond to at least one of your colleagues to help them with their study. Any of the following could be possible discussion postings:
