Tone & Style
Use respectful and kind language. Clearly explain which part of a post you are replying to (for replies). Acknowledge other people’s ideas. Cite sources when you can. (Ideas you get from the reading should mention the reading. Include page numbers if you can, but due to time constraints this isn’t necessary. Ideas you get from an online websearch should mention which pages you visited. Ideas you get from fellow students should mention those students.)
