Some of us still do not know the difference between Post, Reply and Review and it is causing others to do the same. I have composed the following definitions for reference:

Post - (ex. "Post in your individual forum" ) This means that you must 'POST' a new topic thread. DO NOT REPLY to the topic thread you are currently reading. You must exit the current topic thread you have open and click on the button that says 'Post New Thread'.

Reply - (ex. "Reply to this post to confirm..." ) This means that you must 'REPLY' to the current topic thread without posting a new topic thread by clicking on the 'Reply' button in the forum.

Review - (ex. "Review Chapter 3..." ) This simply means to read the material, no response is needed unless otherwise dictated.

Also make sure that when posting new topic threads that you are posting in the correct forum. If the assignment requires to post in the 'Individual Forum' Then make sure that you are posting there and not in the 'Main Forum'. Please follow the above references and help us all to prevent the 'Monkey See, Monkey Do Syndrome'.

This information would have been great in my first block. Yes I think that if you know where and how to post you can save alot of confusion.

Although it does help when the instructor uses the correct terminology. I suggest that if you are unsure always refer to the syllabus. The correct procedures are outlined there and usually will apply to all of your courses.
