Your forum posts can be written in first person (I, my position, as I see it). Remember, you need to back up your opinions with facts from your reference(s). All, discussion posts (with the exception of the Introduction) should contain at least one reference. Typically this will be the textbook as the discussion questions will be coming directly from the textbook. You can use more references if you would like however. The sources for these references should be included at the end of your response and cited in the discussion in order to give appropriate credit to the individuals from whom you borrowed material.
