How many discussion posts must you complete to meet the Expectations of the replies category

I want to take this time to discuss a few expectations and helpful information about how to participate in the weekly online discussions. You can scroll down the page or use the links here to navigate to each section.  All Discussions can be found by clicking on the Discussions link located on the left-hand side of the course.
