DISCUSSION FORUMS
a.Faith Integration Forums: A Faith Integration Forum is provided each week, to which you must post a response. This is a graded activity. Your posting will be assessed based on your understanding, thinking, writing, communication, application, references, and response postings, using the rubric provided in the course resources. You will not be assessed on the expression of your beliefs. In other words, it is the quality of your posting that is being assessed, not the viewpoint. Your posting to the Faith Integration Forum must be posted by 11:59 pm on Tuesday of each week. A response posting to at least one of your colleagues postings is due by midnight Saturday. Late postings are penalized at 50 percent per day, and no postings are accepted after 11:59 pm on Saturday.

For each discussion forum, you are also required to respond to at least two of your colleagues postings. Responses must be posted by 11:59 pm on Saturday.

Please respond to the questions at the end of the following case from Chapter 4 of Hill’s Just Business. Dora manages the pharmacy department of a large retail store. Over the past few months, small quantities of a very expensive prescription heart medication have been disappearing on a regular basis. After setting up a hidden camera, Dora catches her technical assistant pilfering. As she is about to call the police, Dora asks him why he has turned to crime. He explains that his niece will die without the drug and that her parents cannot afford medical insurance. His request for understanding leaves Dora pondering what her next step should be.
