2. Participation in discussions is very very important.  You should enter the discussion board three times each week:  at the beginning middle and end of the week.  Discussions close on Sunday night.  Each person should participate in each forum.  Answer questions and post your own thread related to the topic. BE SURE TO RESPOND TO ALL QUESTIONS and REQUESTS POSED TO YOU.

3. LEARNING COMMUNITY

We are looking to develop a learning community in this class where people assist one another.  Ask one another for help in the STUDENT CAFE.  Ask one another questions about the topics within the discussion forums.

You may post a draft of your written assignment in the STUDENT CAFE and ask for feedback from others on it.  They can proof read and comment on it.  You should then revise it before submitting to the instructor.
