Discussions
Your instructor may create discussions in your online classes to provide a space for you to contribute to class conversations with your classmates. For instance, you may be asked to respond to course content and assignments, work with classmates in assigned groups, and ask your instructor questions about course material. Contact your instructor for guidance.
