Top 3 Users for the Week

One of the first few things considered for the selection of top winners for the week in the contest is the performance by grade but that is not enough to make the judgment, it's an engagement challenge that requires proper interaction with others.

We have checked how many articles our participants have interacted with, some articles were left out of the selection because of low interaction, some made it because of high interaction and in cases where we have equal comments from two or more users, performance by grade was employed to choose who won. Below are our top 3 articles for last week.
