Due dates and criteria for success

Our grading rubric for this activity may differ from ones you've encountered in other courses. It contains the specific criteria below:

1. Timeliness of your "initial" post (possibly a response to someone else's post) by Wednesday

2. Features of your main post:

• your main point early in the message, before your sample or website

• specific examples that support your ideas and opinions

• paragraphing to reveal each new point you make)

3. Substantive contributions to discussion by Sunday night - up to six thoughts supported by details, examples, stories, research, etc., in a single message or in several
