3. DB assignments  are posted in the Bb DISCUSSION BOARD area. Discussions are graded and last for ten days unless otherwise indicated. Primary postings made during the final two days of the discussion earn no credit since others would not have enough time to make a considered reply to them.  Replies (responses) to the primary postings of others are also graded and are accepted until midnight of the day the DB closes. Once a DB closes, you may not post to it for credit, but you may continue to make additional postings to a closed DB if you wish to continue a discussion there.
