Guidelines for Posting Messages to Bulletin Board

Below are five basic guidelines to help you and your group take maximum advantage of the organizational features of the threaded bulletin board, and to help you develop a rich and in-depth discussion.

1) Enter name in message - Don't forget to include your name in each message you post in order to get credit for credit.

2) Promote interactive discussion - To promote true discussion and exchange of ideas, concentrate foremost on posting replies to messages to provide elaboration and comments. Click "Post new message" link only to initiate a new line of discussion/thread. See tips on ways to contriubte to discussions.

3) Use descriptive titles in subject headers – Title your messages and replies so that they clearly describe the purpose or intent of your posting. This will help you and others develop a structured discussion.

4) Limit one paragraph per message - Keep each message concise and to the point. Post additional paragraphs in separate follow-up messages.

5) Don’t repeat yourself - Don't needlessly repeat yourself or repeat what others have said. Elaborate & comment on what others have said.
