Discussions - Addressing Other Student’s Work

Question:

I am a student in your CAEE 201 class and I was wondering if the replies had to be done in the section you posted in. I was the first to post in my discipline, Environmental Engineering, so I was unsure if I was supposed to post a reply in the other disciplines or not. Please get back to me when you can.

 

Response:

The intention was that most students would include reactions/comments about other students’ work in their own post.  The following notes may be helpful:

• If you’re the first person to post in a section (e.g. Environmental Engineering), then you do not need to address any other student’s posts
• If you’re the second you only have to address the first – and so on up to the number required.  You only need to consider within your section.
• If you wish to make a comment attached to another person’s post that is fine, but please structure your own post to indicate to the grader that you’ve done so with names and sections so they can find that post easily.
