Discussion Post
Note to advisors and faculty: This is a facsimile of the discussion for viewing purposes only. Students enrolled in OLRN will see this as an actual discussion that they can respond to.
Online courses often include Discussions as a way for students to interact with the instructor, the content, and each other. The Instructor will post a question for each member of the course or group to answer.
Some general discussion guidance:
- Post early in the module or week so that others may respond to your posting.
- Connect or relate your response to the course content.
- Write in an academic style that is free of grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors..
- If there is a requirement to respond to a classmate, try to further the conversation by offering a different point of view, asking questions, or supporting the other person's post with additional information.
- Be respectful of other points of view, and use good netiquette.
- Most students enjoy their interaction with classmates in the discussions.
