I think most of us already know that we tend to see other classmates posting in the wrong class forum. Here is just a little advise.

Read the assignment thoroughly. All the information that you need is there in the assignment, syllabus and if you are not sure, then contact another classmate or the instructor. The worse you can do is guess your way through a class.

I saw a fellow classmate in a previous course go through the entire semester posting assignments in the wrong class forum. Let us just say that he failed his class. I wanted to say something to the individual, but I felt that it would have caused problems fro me. Although the instructor and other students constantly told him week after week. The student even posted the final project in the wrong forum. I think his grade was well deserved. The most important part in college is following directions and this student just did not get that part. On top of the continuous misdirection of postings the student failed to do grammar and composition checks in his postings. Needless to say that all the tools were available to this student as they were to the rest of us, yet they obviously were not used.

I feel that we should help each other when we have a problem, but when the problem is one like the one above, the best lesson is learned by the end result. Not following directions will lead you to failure.
