Class Forum Posts
While a class is in progress, the instructor may, if necessary, delete student posts that are inappropriate or that violate the Student Code of Conduct. Students can also remove their own posts within thirty minutes of the posting time.
It is best practice for all students to double-check their class posts and submissions to make sure that the items:
- Were indeed submitted
- Were posted to the correct location
- Contain the intended information
- Conform to appropriate standards for spelling and grammar, as described in the formatting guidelines posted in Moodle
- Conform to the Student Code of Conduct and Academic Integrity Guidelines
