Online Class – Participation

The university expects students taking online classes to actively participate throughout the week in order to promote a meaningful and engaging learning experience. In order to earn full credit for an online threaded discussion, students must make substantive contributions to the online discussion, as determined by the instructor and make a total of two posts per discussion thread. There must be at minimum one original post and at minimum one other post per discussion. Online students may choose to, and are encouraged to, post on multiple days of the week, but are not required to do so to earn full credit for an online discussion.
