It is a written answer to a discussionquestion/response that contains a central idea, independentresponse or personal opinion that is presented or communicatedin a meaningful way. The purpose of substantive interaction onthe Discussion Forum is to promote understanding of a topic andits relevant themes to all participants.

The usual length of a post is 75 to 150 words.Word count requirements may be dependent on the topic,assignment instructions or level of the course. It is a student’sresponsibility to be familiar with the requirements of a course.Students are encouraged to begin substantively interacting withclassmates and/or the instructor using the Discussion Forumas soon as possible during each week of the term.
