Discussion Board Forum Instructions
Discussion boards are collaborative learning experiences. Therefore, the student is required to
provide a thread in response to the provided prompt for each forum. Each thread must be at least
400 words and demonstrate course-related knowledge. In addition to the thread, the student is
required to reply to 2 other classmates’ threads. Each reply must be at least 200 words.
Students should post a coherent and well-organized answer to the question/prompt. Forums
should be written with formal academic language, should demonstrate proper grammar and
spelling, and should show interaction and engagement with the course materials, scripture, and
classmates. Posts should be formatted in a clean and organized way—utilizing headings to
organize thoughts. Citations from course materials and scripture should be used to support your
argument. Replies to students should be substantive and relative, and they should add to the
discussion. Replies which simply say “good job” without interacting with the topic at hand will
not be accepted.

(use specific examples from scripture)?
Reply to 2 classmates: Reply to your classmates in a way which contributes to further
conversation about the subject matter. (Suggested ideas of how to respond: What do you
agree/disagree with in their post? Why? What examples have you seen of the concepts your
classmate shared? What details would you add to the things they have shared? How can you
expand the perspective given or provide a new perspective on the topic?)

Read a Scholarly Journal Article about CQ: For this discussion board, each student will need
to select a scholarly journal article about CQ in a specific professional discipline. Note that a
variety of articles have been provided on Blackboard to relate to a large selection of degree
fields and professional interests; however, if a student does not find an article which matches
their interests, they can do their own research to find a different article. The student should send
GLST 220
the article to your professor and get prior approval before using an article if it is different than
the ones provided.
Initial Thread Question/ Prompt: Once you have read your article please answer the following
questions in your post: (Questions in parenthesis are suggestions to help guide your writing).
1. Briefly summarize the article. (What were the researchers studying? What was the primary
thesis of the article? How did they conduct their research? What were the results?)
2. Using this article as well as other course materials, discuss the implications of Cultural
Intelligence in your chosen professional field. (What cross-cultural challenges exist in your
profession? How will having high CQ help to address those challenges? What other research
needs to be done in order to develop high CQ in your field?)
3. Imagine you were creating a professional development seminar on cultural intelligence for
professionals in your chosen field. Aside from simply defining CQ, what topics would you
focus on? How would you help your attendees practically apply CQ to your field?
Reply to 2 classmates: The following questions are suggestions that can help guide your
discussion as you reply to 2 students:
1. Have you seen or experienced the challenges they mentioned?
2. What other topics would you add to their professional development plan?
3. What other examples can you give which may practically apply CQ to their field? or Are
there any related examples from your field of study which may help them with practical
application?
