 D/F – Unsatisfactory

In-Class Engagement Participant meets “B” grade expectations and exceeds them with especially thought provoking and thoughtful contributions that help foster a productive online community. Participant actively and positively contributes to class sessions: arrives on time; carefully prepares assigned material and tasks; offers pertinent comments and information; demonstrates critical thinking skills; shows respect for fellow participants; works effectively with other participants; focuses on tasks at hand and completes them in a timely manner; and volunteers without dominating the class. Participant falls short of “B” grade expectations in one to two areas. Participant does not meet expectations in multiple areas and/or dismisses instructor requests to address problems (e.g. dominates the class).
Blogging Blogger meets “B” grade expectations and exceeds them with especially thought provoking and thoughtful contributions that help foster a productive online community. Blogger actively and positively contributes to student blogs: submits complete posts; offers meaningful replies to peers; moderates comments received; and respects guidelines, netiquette and deadlines. Blogger falls short of “B” expectations in one to two areas. Blogger does not meet expectations in multiple areas and/or dismisses instructor requests to address problems (e.g. major netiquette issues).
