Sarah is a freshman high school student who is also holding down a 20-hour-a-week job. She drinks diet cola several times a day to keep her energized without adding calories, and she has given up all dairy products as part of her newly embraced vegan diet. At a routine checkup, her physician warned against excessive soda consumption and recommended that she add more calcium sources to her diet. Why?
Write your discussion about the adverse effects of excessive soda consumption, and the dietary sources of calcium.
Here is a brief summary of the discussion board requirements. Please review the rubric for more specific information.
The initial discussion post must be at least 250 words of content, referencing the week’s reading and including a scholarly source.
Students will respond to two classmates weekly on the discussion board and give at least 50 words of substantive feedback.
I encourage students to respond to me but remember responding to me does not count as responding to two classmates.
All posts need a reference and in-text citations. Your initial post should never be all opinion. You need to refer to the reading and required resources.
Discussion posts are due on Saturdays at 11:59 PM EST. Late discussion posts will not be accepted even with documentation because this is an attendance/participation grade for the week.
Plagiarism of any kind can result in a “0”.
You must post your initial post before you see other students’ responses. Adding a “.” or other short words/sentence, or entering and leaving without a post submitted, to review what others provided before you give your initial post will be deleted, and the grade for the week’s board will be a 0.
All references and other pertinent material must be included with the original post. Any information that is added after the initial post is submitted will not count for the grade.
