Transcript text: Multiple Choice Question
When using the class discussion board, online students $\qquad$
have the option of whether or not to participate
are anonymous
can speak freely without consequence
are carefully monitored by the professor
Solution
The answer is are carefully monitored by the professor.
Explanation
Option 1: have the option of whether or not to participate
While participation requirements can vary by course, many online classes require students to participate in discussion boards as part of their grade. Therefore, this option is not universally true.
Option 2: are anonymous
Typically, students are not anonymous on class discussion boards. They usually use their real names or student IDs, as these platforms are part of the educational institution's system.
Option 3: can speak freely without consequence
While students are encouraged to express their thoughts, they must adhere to the institution's code of conduct and guidelines. Inappropriate or disrespectful comments can have consequences.
Option 4: are carefully monitored by the professor
Professors often monitor discussion boards to ensure that students are participating appropriately, to facilitate discussions, and to provide feedback. This is a common practice in online education to maintain a productive learning environment.
