Final Post Grade:

Your final grade for posts (which is part of your Out of Class participation grade) will be determined by:

i. whether or not you have completed 2 of each type of posts and then 1 post on anything (even if not the readings)  for a total of at least 9 posts.

ii. the average of all your post-check-in grades.

Post-Check Ins:  

Periodically I will check in on your posts, and I will grade a post of your selection.  Your “Post Check-In” grade will be determined:

i. whether or not you are up-to-date in all your posting [50 percent]

ii. the grade  you receive for the post you select to be graded during that check in.  (You select a post to be graded, by checking the category box saying “post check-in”) [50 percent]

Graded Posts

Your selected post will be graded based on:

i. whether or not it adheres to the guideline for that particular type of post

ii. whether it includes textual quotes with accurate page citations

iii. the clarity of the language
