I аm аwаre that there are discussiоn bоard pоsts as part of the course, and others as extra credit. The majority of them have follow-up posts too. I understand that if I do not post initially, it becomes a challenge for my classmates to do follow-up posts. When I am posting on discussion boards, I will post comments in a supportive learning-friendly manner. I will avoid harsh criticisms, and I will honor the thought process of my peers.
