What is a Quality Post?

A quality post will be more than three sentences long, and it will give relevant information about the topic.

You want your posts to be read, so don't make them too long. Two to five paragraphs are a good length for quality posts. Some can be longer and some can be shorter, but two or three paragraphs are good as a general rule.

You are required to make 9 quality posts per week, but you can make as many shorter interactive comments as you wish. "Good job!" would not be considered a quality post, according to the above definition, but it might certainly be encouraging and contribute well to the conversation.

Appropriate humorous comments might not be quality posts (though they can be if they are on topic) but they might contibute to the overall morale of our learning community. You can make unlimited posts and comments. Nine quality posts are required as a minimum. (Remember a post can also be a comment in response to someone else's initial post or a comment to someone's comment on another post.)
