About the Discussion Forums讨论论坛说明

Expectations 期待

With the large number of learners in this course, no one is expected to read every post made within the discussion forums. Rather, read those that seem interesting to you and reply when you can further the conversation. Above all, you are expected to remain civil and treat all other learners with respect. Failure to do so will result in your removal from the course.
在这个课程中，学习者众多，没有人期望阅读讨论论坛中发布的每一条帖子。相反，阅读那些对你来说有趣的帖子，并在你能够进一步推动对话时回复。最重要的是，你应保持文明，尊重所有其他学习者。未能做到这一点将导致你被移出课程。

Searching for Posts 搜索帖子

You can search for a post by using the search box at the top of any individual forum or the All Course Discussions page. It may be helpful to see if your topic or question has already been covered before posting. If so, you can reply to that thread instead of starting a new one. You can also click on someone's name in the forums (including your own) to see all of the posts that have been made by that person.
