The categories are followed by a description of what you will do by category and how many points each assignment is worth

1. Checking Your Knowledge – these are the questions you will answer from the end of the chapters you read. The initial assignments from Module 1 such as the computer backup plan, and Meet Your Classmates will also be included within this CYK category Each is worth 100 points.  These are worth 10 % of your total grade.

2. Class Discussions - These discussions take place each mod and each is worth 100 points and is 25% of your final grade. As you will see on the rating rubric, I will evaluate whether your responses are relevant to the questions posed and whether or not you are able to insightfully contribute to the discussions and follow all of the rules. In addition, I will look to see if you posted your initial response to the discussion by the due date and check to see if you submitted your response to your peers on another, different day during the module and before the discussion deadline date. Posting a response near midnight on the due date does not really contribute to the back and forth type of conversation we are looking for here, so please be timely.

3. Reading Reward- Read your chapter assignments and follow with this and you will easily earn your 100pts and toward 15% of your grade.

4. Essays - will be assigned throughout the course - TBA- each is worth 100 pts and is 20% of your grade.

5. Team  Project – Your team contribution will be an essential part of this class starting with our first class meeting and culminating in your team presentation. This is worth 30% or your grade so you can tell that I believe it is very important.
