How do I participate in a graded discussion on Canvas?

Discussions allow you to have conversations online. Sometimes, you can see other student posts before you post your own response; but sometimes, you cannot see other student posts before you post your own response (this is a decision your instructor makes).

PREPARATION TIP: You should compose your discussion posts on Word, or somewhere else first, and then copy/paste onto the discussion thread. This is because you might lose your written work while on Canvas - you might press the "back" button by accident, and you may forget to save your work - so it is better to be safe than sorry!
