LSTD 507 International Law

LSTD 507 International Law

Week 1 Forum

You tell a friend that you are taking an International Law class at APUS. The friend asks, “what exactly is International Law?” Tell your friend what International Law is and include the various sources of international law in your discussion. Before answering, conduct additional research at the APUS library and online.

Each week, your initial post is due by Wednesday. You should then respond to three (3) or more posts by Sunday. This can be accomplished by

· Validating with additional evidence from the literature.

· Posing a thoughtful question with commentary which generates further discussion.

· Providing an alternative point-of-view, with evidence and examples.

· Offering additional insight into how the concept might be understood, with evidence provided with real world examples.

You are expected to be active in the classroom throughout the week and actively engaged in the back-and-forth discussion between your colleagues and the professor. The forum grading rubric can be reviewed by clicking on the blue and white box beside the forum entry in the gradebook.
