Discussion forum on TESU

Hmm... Discussion posts should technically be brownie points for the majority of professors, however, having said that... there are a few professors (at TESU and other institutions) where they treat it more as a requirement. I've seen professors use discussions for separating the ones who deserve a higher grade versus the ones who should get an assigned grade due to their 'other' graded requirements for the course. It all depends on that instructor!

Prospective students really need to review their course info and potential professors, also check the ratemyprofessor or other review sites to see how the professor is reviewed. Those who like a challenge and don't mind a lower letter grade, go crazy, do what ever you want... sometimes the easiest/fastest way to get there is best with the least amount of pushback from a professor. Basically, I just follow whatever the rubric is within each assignment.
