When contributing to Rhea, how do you picture your audience? How does this affect your posting?
- I think that probably 90% of the users of Rhea are Purdue students. The few that come across Rhea are probably just Google-searching a potential candidate (be it for graduate school, a job, etc.) and that person happened to post on Rhea with their full name. I find it very unlikely an employer will scope out Rhea for "insightful posts" and then contact a student, because doing so would require the employer to search Purdue's directory for usernames (assuming the Rhea user even signed his/her username). In short (or perhaps rather long in my case), I don't "hold my tongue" when posting on Rhea, because I think by and large only your classmates will really view the material. --rscheidt
- I post whatever I feel is appropriate for the topic I am posting under. I doubt many people actually read what you write anyways. I did stumble onto Spring 09s 438 rhea page while studying for 438 exam 2. That was interesting. --weim

Here is how a signature looks: --Norlow 15:59, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
If you look above the editing window (when in editing mode), there is a (user) name and timestamp. If you want to sign whatever, just press the second button from the right --- it says "your signature with timestamp". |
