Discussions are simple confabulations but very unique and complex. They can include one specific main idea or possibly many. The main purpose it to help collaborate with peers to share information and new ideas. Along with discussions, you will most likely be working inside of a group. You should feel accepted inside your group so that you can feel comfortable about sharing your bright ideas and the knowledge that comes up into your mind. Along with the group, everyone will most likely be assigned a different role to keep the forum in an orderly manner. There is the presenter who starts the presentation with bringing up the basic concepts for others to build off of. Along with the presentor, there is a facilitator and that's basically the queen bee. You can look at it like this: the bee that keeps the other bees from getting distracted or off topic other than from the main purpose of the discussion. And last but not least, we have the recorder. They are the ones who record important pieces of information so that later they can build off of those specific details into new and brighter ways (possibly on their own). Along with the group, you should make sure to practice group etiquette. If you need anything said again just speak up. Try not to form stereotypes in front of your colleagues. They are the ones who are working with you and they should the ones who are able to trust you. You should be friendly and nice even if you don't necissarily agree with what their saying. There should always be equal discussion. In other words, have equal air time. One person shouldn't be the only one talking or responsing to certain members. It's also very important to make yourself look presentable. During the meeting, you may be tired or hungry. Try your best to not show how you feel especially if it's a long meeting (it may be very hard). Finally, make sure to be prepared. You want to be able to know what topics you're going to bring up and add onto if something goes wrong and you're in the position where to speak up.

The sentence that best paraphrases the first sentence of the excerpt is "You aren't telling me anything I don't know".
