Participation Post—Submission Requirements (DB)

The participation post for a Discussion Board assignment is the second post requirement for any assigned discussion board work.  All discussion board post assignments will have two parts: initial post and participation (peer response) post.  The initial post will be due early in the week, and the participation (peer response) post is typically due over the weekend.


The initial post and the participation (peer response) post have a specific structure, flow, layout, and submission requirements.

To learn about structure, flow, and layout of content into the Discussion Board forum, review the links below.  For submission requirements, please keep in mind that ALL Discussion Board posts MUST be directly visible within the message window of the forum. 

This means that while it is always best to complete your work in a M.O. Word document and save a copy to your computer, the 'posting' of the work must be visible to the class as soon as your thread is clicked upon, and therefore, you will need to copy and then paste the content from your saved assignment directly into the message window.

While you CAN ALSO attach your saved document to the REPLY message post that you create for your reflection, analysis, and evaluation of your classmate's initial post in the Discussion Board forum, you cannot only attach the document.
