    Any ideas on how we can increase student participation in your forum? Know any on locale campuses of NUI? Or social sciences faculty that may encourage students to use this forum as a class networking place to interact and ask questions about homework, projects, surveys, etc.?

    Been a while since I was in university, but IIRC a lot have their own internal forums and even those get minimum take up. From what I have heard, for group projects and whatnot, it is all done via chat apps and Facebook.

    Truthfully, this is a well-moderated forum and the contribution level of a relatively high standard. I have quietly followed proceedings here over the years, my curiosity in no small part related to having studied sociology & anthropology many moons ago. And retain more than a passing interest to this day. Keep up the good work.

    Thanks Berties_Horse. Your posts and views here really count. If you know of any folks that may not know about this forum, or have not posted in awhile, please ask them to. Member-to-member is a grand way to build this forum. Best, Black Swan.
