	Participants should create an account at the [~~http://speait2022k.421.s1.nabble.com/~~ course ~~forums~~] and make '''weekly''' at least 2 posts there - both creating a new topic and contributing to existing ones count (so it pays to check first if something similar already exists - too many topics would lose focus). For each week, '''up to two posts (1 point each)''' will count for points - it is OK to post more, but the additional ones would be 'just for fun'. You can thus receive '''up to 30 points'''. While the general deadline is the same as in blogging, it is not that strict in the ~~forums~~ - responding to '''up to two weeks old''' topics is acceptable (but not waking up in the last week and starting to solo in really old topicsǃ). In order to keep track and also make grading easier (some discussions could fit several weekly topics, yet points can be allocated to just one), all topics in the Course Discussions should include the week number in parentheses, e.g. "Interesting early computers (Week 1)".

	The exception to the "up to two weeks later" rule in the ~~forums~~ is the end of the course - all the work should be done by the final day of the course, May 9 noon (experience shows that 'leaving things hanging' after that does not work well). So you can be up to one week late for the 2nd last week, and should write in time during the last one.

	In addition to the '''Course Discussions''', there is the '''Other Discussions''' sub-forum that can be used for any reasonable and civilized topic (e.g. asking about other courses or announcing a party). These posts, however, '''do not qualify for points'''. There is also the '''Housekeeping''' forum which is meant for course-related (in the organizational sense - these are not graded either) topics - most importantly, you will find the course supervisor's weekly feedback there.

	As there are several ways to collect points (and none of them are mandatory as such!), different combos can work (blog-paper-exam; ~~forums~~-reviews-exam etc; it is still possible to get even the max grade without exam). The main recommendation is to participate throughout the course to get the maximum knowledge effect from the course. We have enough people to benefit from the community effect, or learn from each other (as opposed to the typical Student Syndrome "I'll start studying three days before the exam - and three days after exam, I will remember nothing.") ː)		As there are several ways to collect points (and none of them are mandatory as such!), different combos can work (blog-paper-exam; forum-reviews-exam etc; it is still possible to get even the max grade without exam).

	It is also appropriate to issue a warning - '''do not plagiarize'''. Even if you have all the Internet at your disposal. Firstly, this would be stealing from yourself: you will learn very little (perhaps to press Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V, but you probably knew even those earlier). Secondly, a proven case (any non-trivial amount of copy-paste presented as your own work) can drop you from the course (and in some cases, from the university).

	To avoid debalancing the course, there is a cap of 6 bonus points for everyone (from up to two people if max amount is given by each).

If you award points to someone who already has reached 6 bonus points, you'll receive an e-mail about it and have a chance to reassign them to someone else (they will not go waste).

			Another limitation is that in order to award points, the giver must be actively participating by him/herself (to avoid the situation where someone who did not take part at all 'helps out some friends'). Therefore, bonus points can be awarded to others if you have acquired '''30 points''' (fully doable by around midterm; e.g. blog 63 + forum 62).

			To stimulate reading others' works as well, there is a possibility to award up to 3 bonus points to a fellow student. To do that, please send the course supervisor an e-mail, denoting the person and brief description (a couple sentences is OK) of what the points are given for. The deadline for this is also '''May 2 noon'''.
