simplyn2deepIt should be a requirement that students take at least 1 online class in their college career so they realize just how much of a balancing act it is in regards to their other classes.
The downside of discussion boards for school comes when the instructor says that once we post our answer to the discussion question, to reply to 3 or 4 other people.
AND I CAN'T!
BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE HAS POSTED THEIR ANSWERS FOR ME TO REPLY TO!
It's not fair that I have to wait for other people to get around to answering so that I can complete my assignment...but they can post their response and do the required replies all in one go because they waited until the day of or the day before the assignment was due.
And I get it. They have work for other classes they need to work on. It's just frustrating having to wait and then worry about missing something because I wasn't constantly checking the discussion board for posts to reply to.
The posts are time-stamped so the professor can see who waited until the last minute and who is on top of things with their schoolwork.
