Blackboard (Students) - Journals: Comment on a Journal Entry

The journal tool is most frequently used as a communication tool between a student and the instructor. Instructors may turn on the journal for a whole class to view, but you cannot comment on another student's journal entry. You can however comment in reply to an instructor's comment.
