Grading

Your final grade for this course will be based primarily on the quality of your writing (see Grading Criteria), research, participation in threaded discussion and your willingness to explore the vast parameters of cyberspace. As a minimum, your grade will be the average of all required chapters and threaded discussions. Failure to submit all chapters and/or failure to participate in the threaded discussion will adversely affect your grade (See Evaluation of Question /Discussion Course Component on SLN portal below).

You will have the entire semester to edit, revise and repost your work in you r webfolio, but weekly postings of chapters and threaded discussions will be required. Threaded discussion will close weekly.

While developing these skills, you will also be expected to achieve and demonstrate some level of proficiency with web page design. You will not, however, be expected to become a web page designer or computer guru. Like a photographer and his camera, you will be judged by the quality and composition of your work, not your technical skill with the computer, though you need to develop some proficiency with the computer and web page design to function successfully.

Evaluation of Question /Discussion Course Component on SLN portal

There are multiple levels of reaction to the question. The deeper, more probing, more evaluative the comments, the more effective your knowledge building will be. Treat the questions superficially and your knowledge gain will also be shallow. Or, to put it more bluntly, you get out of it what you put into it.

First I'll check for your immediate personal reaction.

Then I'll look for evidence of some type of deeper evaluation.

Then I'll look for evidence of synthesis and connections writing your comments

Finally, Ill look at responses of other students to your comments. If your original comments were not very thought provoking other students will not likely react to it.
