How Discussion Boards Work

Even in an online course, lively discussions are at the heart of an interesting class. These are the main forums for interaction in an online course and are also the primary means of showing your presence in the class.  Our discussion forums are different than most because you will be interacting with students from all my ENG 201 sections, not just your own. This is a big community!

The weekly discussions can be accessed in two ways: through the main menu (above) or through the page for each week (side menu).

Directions and prompt appear when you click on the discussion board.

Discussion Board Etiquette

Please respond in full sentences in correct English (not in texting language).

Please use upper and lower case.

Disagreement with the opinions of others is fine–even encouraged—but please show respect for fellow classmates in your responses.
