I often notice students posting summaries of their classmates post. Summarizing is not considered a substantial post. Below is an example of a substantial post and one that is not substantial.
Not Substantial: Did you find it to be helpful to add color to your work? I am trying to figure out a way to make my work functional but allows for everything to be separated. I am very confused with this math (along with all math!) concept, so I am looking for ways that may help keep things in little more in perspective for when I am working on my assignments. Do you think adding color helped you? Thanks for letting me know.
Substantial post: I am curious how you got your number of $1,053.60 from your spread sheet. Can you elaborate?
I noticed your spread sheet your number said 6 and not 12. How were you able to get the correct dollar amounts using 6 instead of 12 when the periodic interest rate is APR/12?
When I Use the formula, P(t) = 1000(1 + r)t where t = the number of periods (6) and r = the periodic interest rate = APR/12, The periodic interest rate was 0.874%. The total amount in 6 months due would be $1,053.61. But when I use the number 6, the periodic interest rate goes up to 1.748% and it would tell me that my 6-month bill would be $1,109.59.
Asking questions that are relevant to out topic or posting a real world application is a great way to make a post substantial.
I give you multiple ways to earn a substantial post. Below is a list.

Instructor feedback from first post.
Hello Garfield,
You had a good attempt at this assignment. I am not certain if you understood the assignment requirements. One value (that is important to you) needed to be discussed for each level (Individual, etc.). The paper seemed to go into a different direction discussing Spirit Airlines. Please review the returned assignment and grading rubric.
