Some students and professors also engage through other social mediums like Meetup or Facebook.</p>
<p>Recent research has found that if you take a class with a friend, or engage socially with other learners while taking a course, there is a higher likelihood that you will complete a course. If you haven’t already, consider finding a study buddy!</p>
<p>Check out more information about the discussion forum by navigating to the next item in this learning sequence.</p>
<p>In the discussion forums, remember to be polite and respectful. Simply put, treat others the way you want to be treated.</p>

<h2>Discussion FORUMS</h2>
<p>The discussion forum for each course is found at the top of the course page. You might come across a subset of the discussion forum inside the course (see below), where you can talk with fellow students about the course in context. Go ahead and be social! Make your first post in this demo course.</p>
<p>Keep an eye out for posts with a green check mark. The green check means the post has been recognized by a staff member or forum moderator as a great post. You can also actively upvote a post. Others can search on user “upvoted” posts. They tend to be very helpful. </p>

<h2>Find Your Study Buddy</h2>
<p>Working with other students offline can help you get the most out of an online course and even increase the likelihood you will successfully complete the course. So, your homework is to find a study buddy.</p>
<br />
<p>The course specific discussion forums are a great place to find neighbors or even new friends to invite to a Meetup you are looking to organize or even a virtual Google Hangout.</p>
