Since this is an online course that utilizes discussion forums, it is important for all students to participate in the course promptly actively. The Canvas Forum is the main place for our class discussion. You can ask questions regarding course materials, assignments, and exams on the forum. Students are expected to participate in all discussions. Please consider the following general participation expectations:

• Login regularly and actively participate in the course activities.
• Post discussion forums and other assignments on time as indicated each week.
• Complete the assigned reading before posting your question(s) — answers to most questions can be found in the reading assignments.
• No code sharing is allowed on the forums.

Think of these forums as our online classroom. The forums on the website are a good way of interact with other students, exchange thoughts, ask and answer questions as well as take part in the public discussion. I will check the weekly forums on a daily basis and will respond to questions as needed. I also highly encourage students to read and respond to posts from fellow peers. You must also post an introduction within the first week to avoid being dropped as a no-show.
