Discussion Forum Instructions

For all discussion forum assignments, reply to at least two (2) of your peers using the Ask a Question, Answer a Question format:

1. Reply to your peers with at least five (5) substantive sentences. Sentences like “Hello” and “Good post” do not count toward this length requirement. 
2. When possible, seek out students who have not yet received a response.
3. One of these sentences should ask a question of each peer based upon the content of their post. This question should be related to the substance of their post.
4. Check the discussion forum throughout the week.
5. When your peers respond to your posts, answer their questions, then ask a question in return to further the conversation.
6. Similarly, when you ask a question, monitor the thread for responses, answer their question, and ask another question in return, etc.
7. When responding to your peers, search for posts that do not yet have replies rather than focusing on specific people.
8. Respond in this manner often throughout the next week for full participation.
