Each week, each student will
post one discussion question to the discussion forum for each chapter (some modules/weeks have 2 chapters).
*And, each week, each student will be required to
respond to two of the posts in each chapter’s forum.
**Late posts will lose 1 point for every day that it is late for 7 days, after which it will be a zero.**
Grading Rubric: Discussion Forum Questions will be based on these criteria:
1. Questions should require responses that meet the response criteria (3 points)
2. Questions are based on material from the textbook, not just simple opinion questions and shouldn’t require material from outside sources. (2 points)
3. Questions need to be clearly stated, understanding what is being asked by all other students in the class. (3 points)
4. Questions should be written in proper grammar and sentence structure. (1 point)
5. Questions should be original and unique- NOT copied from the chapter titles or subtitles or other students. (1 point)
**Students earn up to 10 points for each Discussion Forum Question.
Grading Rubric: Discussion Forum Responses will be based on these criteria:
1. Responses should be 5-10 sentence paragraphs and 60-100 words. If you read a question that doesn’t require enough material, add material to your response or answer a different question. (3 points)
2. Responses should have accurate information, found in the textbook material— the answer will show that a student has fully read the chapter. (2 points)
3. Responses are meaningful, well thought out and push the discussion forward (see below description of examples of a meaningful post). (3 points)
4. Responses should be written in proper grammar, sentence/paragraph structure. (1 point)
5. Responses should be original and unique, your own thoughts- NOT copied directly from the text or other students. *If you use an outside source (not necessary), please completely site the source. (1 point)
**Students earn up to 10 points for each Discussion Forum Response.
A meaningful post tends to:
· Provide concrete examples, perhaps from your own experience or cited from the reading
· Identify consequences or implications
· Challenge something that has been posted – perhaps by playing devil’s advocate in a professional way
· Pose a related question or issue
· Pull in related information from other sources with proper citation – books, articles, websites, courses, etc.
