Course Assessment

This course will not offer university credits or formal grades. There will be a peer review assessment system for the assignment indicated in this page, so all participants get some feedback on their work. Some assignment will be "voluntary" and will not be peer-reviewed. The peer-reviewed assignment will contain "rubrics" indicating the expectations of the assignment and a "points" value, so it is easier for the person doing the peer-review and the person being assessed to understand how they met that rubric.

Timely completion of the required assignments is a basic requirement. Assignments turned in later than the due date will be accepted but will receive a grade of zero points and will not be peer-reviewed. After the due date, assignment cannot be redone or resubmitted for peer-review. Students must complete all of the required assignments in order to "Complete" the course.

Assignments are due on the date indicated in the Schedule. However, several discussion group assignments require timely postings earlier in the week. This is especially true if a "consensus" is to be reached by the group and any time responses to other classmates are needed for completion of an assignment. When an assignment requires dialogue between participants, all group members must complete their initial posting for that week's assignment, no later than Wednesday at 11:00 p.m. of the assigned week.

There will be quizzes after each module that will be automatically reviewed and will give the students an indication of their level of comprehension of that topic.
