Postings dated after the closing date for a forum are not eligible for grading. Create a notebook to maintain print-outs of the threads you want to discussions in which you participate. If you have participated in many threads, you will have choices about which threads and units you submit. Be sure to indicate which threads meet the requirement for initiated discussions, and to specify the relevant forums involved. Keep in mind the following whether you are initiating or responding to a message.
Questions are just as important as assertions or statements.
