Title: How Am I Graded
Course: RITA MC - WEB PAGE DESIGN I > Section: Start Module

Labs

When I grade the labs I will be referring to the rubric for basic web development. Please feel free to download this document and use it as a guide to review your work prior to turning in your lab assignments.  Please note that not all aspects of this rubric will come into play for each lab but will for the end result.

Discussion Boards

For  graded discussion forums, discuss the topic that has been assigned. Your initial response on the topic should be approximately 1 page long with 2 to 3 paragraphs. You should develop your discussion with examples. Do not copy the book's example, create your own! I would recommend that your discussion examples be about a coffee lounge since that is the web site we will be developing throughout the semester.  You must post your discussion and respond to 2 other classmates with substantive remarks.

You have until 10:00 pm on the posted due date to complete this Discussion Forum. Do not wait until the last minute to do this as you have to respond to 2 other student's postings at a minimum. This needs to be done as we go through Unit 1. All students should have your initial posting done within the first 2 weeks. If you wait until the last week that the discussion forum is open to begin, then there will be grading penalties put in place for the remaining 3 graded discussion forums.

This is a graded forum based on participation and content. Simple postings such as "I agree", "No, it's not", and "You're wrong!" will not count. When you respond to someone else's posting, you should state your case, why you think it is so, and offer supporting statements for why you think it's the proper response.  The whole idea is to add to the discussion and not just give 'filler' or 'fluff' but rather content that has substance germane to the discussion.

Each discussion assignment will be worth up to 100 points total if you complete the submission plus responding to 2 other posts.  If there is only one response then the maximum point value available will be 67 points.  If you make your post but do not respond to any posts, the maximum point value available will be 34 points.

When I grade the Discussion Boards I will be referring to the rubric for discussion boards. Please feel free to download this document and use it as a guide to review your work prior to completing your discussion boards.
