Follow these seven (7) rules to make sure you sound respectful, polite, and knowledgeable when you post to the discussion forums: 1. Before posting your question to a discussion forum, check if anyone has already asked; doing so wouldn't sound redundant. 2. Stay on topic. Don't post irrelevant links, comments, thoughts, or pictures. 3. Don't type in ALL CAPS! If you do, it will look like you are screaming. 4. Don't write anything that sounds angry or sarcastic, even as a joke. 5. Always remember to say "please" and "Thank you" when soliciting help from classmates. 6. Respect the opinions of your classmates. If you need to disagree, do so respectfully, and acknowledge the valid points in your classmate's argument. 7. Run a spelling and grammar check before posting anything to the discussion forum.
