Getting started on DB123 – forums
DB123 encourages you to communicate with your tutor group via a forum that you can find in the column on the right-hand side of the module website. This opens a week after study starts. There is also a ‘welcome forum’, open to all registered DB123 students, to introduce you to the module. This ‘welcome forum’ will open on 28 September 2013 until 12 October 2013 (when it becomes ‘read only’). The forum contains Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and is a good place to familiarise yourself with how forums are used, to meet other students and to ask any questions you may have about the module.
