However, both answers and responses to others should be tied clearly and directly to the topic and to the assigned reading. It’s fine to say you agree or like someone’s answer, but that will not earn any points in grading. This is not meant to squelch your manners but to remind you to keep to the academic task at hand.Answers and responses further the discussion and advance understanding.

Content is more important than quantity, but active participation is also valuable.Does not wait until the last day to do the discussion work.
