1. Participation 55%

Each session is worth 10% of your final grade, with the exception of the first two weeks of class (which are worth a combined 5% of your course grade).

You and I will both be keeping track of your participation, but you will be asked to fill out a participation self-assessment. You'll start filling out your participation self assessment form at the end of Session 1. When each session has concluded, honestly evaluate your participation and give yourself marks in the following categories:

Preparation (2 pts): Points are earned if you watched any videos within the first two days of the session and you read at least half the novel by the end of the first week of the session and finished the novel by the end of the session.

Timeliness (2 pts): Points are earned if you added your first post in a whole-class discussion forum and your small-group discussion area by the end of the first week of the session and another one during the second week of the session. 

Consistent, Meaningful Presence (4 pts): You earn 2 points for each week in the session for responding to the discussion posts of at least three of your classmates by the end of the first week of the session and again, by responding to at least 3 more posts by the end of the second week of each session.  

Contribution (2 pts): You earn 2 points by contributing something substantial to your classmates this session.  

  • Creating a post that is insightful and provocative resulting in an interesting discussion, and following up on that discussion throughout the session by responding to posts classmates post in responding to your original discussion
  • Taking the lead in the week’s group design project while welcoming and incorporating the contributions of your teammates
  • Drastically improving the results of a group assignment through creative ideas and labour and/or through diplomacy (easing some difficult group dynamic or successfully supporting a more reticent member to participate or lead)

At the end of the course, there will be a folder for you to upload your completed self-assessment.
