[ARCHIVED] Discussion replies

[jhernan5]

Is there a setting for a professor to use that allows or that can be changed to allow students to see discussion posts prior to posting their own?  I am trying to see the assigned discussion posts along with the replies in order to post my reply and can see at the top it shows how many are in there but cannot actually see them.  Thank you!

Hello  @jhernan5 ‌, the default settings allow this but many instructors click the little checkbox to force students to have to comment before replying.  This helps to ensure that students have unique thoughts are not just "copying" ideas from their peers.  

Hope this helps!
