Discussion Forum Grading Criteria
The Discussion Forum (DF) represents your class participation. Your performance will be evaluated on the quality of your initial input and then on your responses to other students input. It is highly suggested that students post their responses early in the week in order to allow students to have someone to respond to. Failure to post your initial response to the question by
Friday will result in -10 points per day for each day after.
For instance if you make you main post on Sunday, and respond to two classmates with all of the requirements met, the highest grade that you can earn is a 70 for that particular discussion board.
Quality primary input–
Your initial post will count as 80%. Primary input should be thorough and direct and posted no later than Friday. Quality primary input should be complete, thoughtful, and well-developed responses that are substantive and may contain specific text references. Students should refrain from personal opinions unless it is based upon objective facts. It must be detailed; at least two paragraphs (5-7 sentences each). If there is more than one part to a question, you must answer all parts of the question.
