Posting a reflection and replying to classmates

Each section of a full-length course has a short reflection, usually two or three sentences, where you apply the section's idea to your own grade level and subject. You post it on a discussion board that everyone in the course can read. Most prompts have two steps: post your own response, then reply to a classmate.
