Get Credit.... Guidelines

(NEW!) Posting and Commenting

On occasion there will not be a “Posting for Points” question.

Answer the “Posting for Points” question. Points are awarded based on a 4-points rubric.

4 points: Question answered with great detail. Application examples are given when appropriate. Calculations are correct. Correct grammar and punctuation.
3 points: Question is completely answered. Examples are given when appropriate. Calculations are correct. Few grammar and punctuation errors.
2 points: Question mostly answered. Calculations are correct. Few grammar and punctuation errors.
1 point: Question not answered. Several grammar and punctuation errors. Incomplete/incorrect calculations.

This blog is available to the whole world, so make sure you double and triple check your post before you submit!

Finally, you can only post 1 comment per entry for points.

REMEMBER, I OFFER VERY LIMITED OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXTRA CREDIT IN THIS CLASS SO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF "COMMENTS".

How to get credit for your comments;
In general, comments made on any entry is worth 2 points. This is one of the places where you can earn extra credit!
Use scribe entries to gain extra credit!

Comment by...
-Discuss what you learned in class. Be specific.

-Give your own example or apply it to something.
-Use correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
-If you are sharing a website, copy and paste it if you don’t know HTML tags.
-Never disrespect someone in your post.
-Sharing frustrations is OK, but blaming someone is NOT OK.

Please don’t just repeat what others have written; instead, try to contribute something new to the conversation. If you wish to write about specific homework problems, please confine your comments to general questions and suggestions about how to get started.

Reflections

The kind of post I'd like you to make should have one or more of these characteristics:

• Write about what you understand the least in the unit so far; your personal "Muddiest Point."


• A reflection on a particular class.


• A reflective comment on your progress in the course.


• A comment on something that you've learned that you thought was "cool".


• A comment about something that you found very hard to understand but now you get it! Describe what sparked that "moment of clarity" and what it felt like.


• Have you come across something we discussed in class out there in the "real world" or another class? Describe the connection you made.

Your posts do not have to be long. I'm far more interested in the quality of what you write rather than the quantity.

Make certain you always use 3 Labels on your post: [your first name], [unit tag], BOB

When you share where you are in your learning a few days before the unit test I can address those issues in class so, hopefully, you will get much more than one extra mark on the test. ;-)
