Discussions have morphed from a course add-on to a major component of the course communication. Some discussion topics are "assignments" posted to the discussions so there is more visibility for your work and an opportunity for class discussion about important topics that are highlighted in your research.
The ratings = grades for content and participation. The total grade for a discussion is the sum of all the "ratings". Because all the discussion topics are grouped in the Discussion forum for the week, there is one total for the discussion (usually 10) comprised of several topic/thread specific ratings (usually 1-3).
There is more information about discussion participation and grading in Welcome to CIS2 - link in the top section of the CIS2 main page. The Discussion participation information is near the bottom.
The information is also available here

This is a pretty general overview, so if you have specific questions about a discussion grade, please ask.
