Rules for Discussion Forum on Bb

• The Forum is intendend as a platform where you can ask the instructor and your classmates questions about homework. You may also ask general questions about the Projects. However, the questions about a Project should not become too specific so that they would violate the posted Policy on Projects (see this link from the course webpage). I expect you to contact me (in person or via email) with all specific questions about Projects.
  
• Here is an example of an acceptable Forum conversation about a Project:
• Q:  How do I create a matrix in Matlab with three "diagonals" and make it the right size?
• A:  See the Example in Appendix B. First copy it and make sure you can create a small matrix shown in that Example. Then add a third diagonal, keeping the matrix the same small size. Then make the matrix of the size that you want.
  
• Here is an example of an unacceptable Forum conversation about a Project:
• Q:  How do I create a matrix in Matlab with three "diagonals" and make it the right size?
  
• A:  for i=1:25; A(i,i)=1; A(i+1,i)=2; A(i-1,i)=3; end  (the code here is, of course, intentionally incorrect).
•  Note that you are still NOT ALLOWED to discuss ANY ISSUES related to a Project with anyone except your partner or instructor. See what the Policy on Projects says about this.

• I intend to visit the Forum about once a day. So, if you need a quick response from me, please do not post your question in the Forum but email me directly.
  
• The Forum allows you to post your messages anonymously and to edit them after they have been posted. In this regard, please note:
• If you wish to make your comments anonymous, please check the box "Post entry as anonymous", which will appear at the end of your message.
• You also have the option to go back and edit your message; however, you cannot delete it. When you edit your message that you have posted earlier, please keep in mind that BB does not keep the original content of the message but instead makes you type a new message from scratch. So, if you want to make only minor corrections, save the text of the message in a text file and then begin "editing" in BB.
