- Engage the other students: The second objective in the forum is to engage the other students in a professional discussion of the issues. This requires you to comment on the historical reasoning of your peers.
Make two significant comments about the work of other students
A significant contribution means a comment that shows an understanding of the historical issue being discussed and is usually accompanied by offering supporting historical evidence from the readings. A significant comment may start with a compliment like, "good point" or taking a position like, "I agree with you." It does not end there though. Now explain why it is a good point or why you agree. Next, you need to support your views with evidence from the readings for the discussion.
Support the comments with evidence
Just as when you answered the question, be sure to support your comments with information from the readings. That can involve anything from a historical example to a quote from one of the authors, to statistical information.
