Welcome & Introduction > Welcome & Introduction > Guidelines to Discussions

Many of the students who indicate they are stuck write very un-informative Discussion posts, which makes it hard to help them. (e.g. just pasting error & no info about their environment) I think if no one helps them in a short time, they will likely abandon the course.

Instead of "To learn more tips about using the Discussion boards, click here", put something like "If you get stuck, increase your chances of timely help by following this guide on writing a good Discussion post"

Please assign to me. I'm going to add a .md file for the "Welcome and Intro" and then make this change.

Sounds good. Let's get the Welcome and Introduction merged first, and then you can make a separate PR for this.

Get students to read guide on writing good discussion posts by putting
incentive in the wording. Also add specifics of what info would be
useful for the types of problems we're seeing students hit in this
course.
