Online Discussion

All students are expected to participate in any online discussions in the course.  Your teacher will post the topic and begin the discussion with questions and/or comments about the subject. Your job is to respond to the teacher's post and add to it with your own ideas about the subject. All posts must be substantive, adding to the content of the discussion. In the end, these discussions should be rich sources of current ideas in the field of machining.

Tips to Guide Your Participation in an online discussion:

Check discussion often. By logging in frequently you will be more likely to read a post that inspires you to respond.

Write good sentences. Pay close attention to sentence structure. Write a good topic sentence and other supporting sentences to make your point.

Stay on topic. Focus only on the topic – don't get distracted. However, if you can connect your message to another related subject, feel free to do so.

Be courteous! Disagreement is certainly expected, but refrain from name-calling or inappropriate language. Remember, anything you post online is rather permanent.

PROOFREAD! Check spelling and grammar before you click “post.”
