In the Introduction section, you must quote or specifically refer to what and to whom you are responding. There is no need to cite a fellow Learner in the DB assignments, unless in a separate thread or a reply in which you are responding to something very specific. Do not be afraid to disagree with a fellow Learner's perspective, just do so politely and always cite and source why. You need to cite in support of your argument and use APA 7 format.  Also, in discussions do not be afraid to use a little appropriate humor. "A smiling reader is one who’s paying attention and eager to read on." Not to mention your prof enjoys a good laugh while reading so much content!
