Excellent
(20 points) |
- Discussion postings clearly indicate understanding of course readings
and are completed before the close of each module, meet or exceed the minimum
number required, and are straight to the point, clearly worded, and
respond constructively to the ideas of others.
- Discussion postings include thought-provoking questions
or additional insights designed to elicit responses from other participants.
- Responds
to posts of others which are missing a clear connection to professional
practice with an addition that makes that connection in a clear and
professional manner.
- Includes
a wide variety of appropriate, researched and informative sources (or
references course materials) to support ideas. Quotes and sources of
information are credited appropriately. (Does not need to be APA citations.)
- Responses are posted to
postings/questions of other participants and enhance the class
discussion.
- Enters discussion early enough in the module so as to return and add to the discussion in a timely manner.
|
Adequate
(15 points) |
- Discussion postings are generally timely, relevant and include some feedback
about the readings and include responses to others' comments in the
discussions.
- Meets the minimum number of postings per week.
- Discussion
postings include questions that move beyond yes or no answers,
and elicit responses from other participants.
- Some evidence of critical analysis of a posted idea with no clear connections drawn to professional practice.
- Does
not include a variety of appropriate, researched and informative
sources (or references course materials) to support ideas.
- Respondent waits until the end of the module to post, thereby not being able to fully engage in the ideas and discussion.
|
Partially Proficient
(10 points) |
- Discussion postings do not fully speak to the topic.
- Posting's
may address one element of a prompt, but fail to completely deal
with the topic.
- Discussion postings include questions that do not
move beyond yes or no answers, and fail to elicit responses from
other participants.
- No inclusion of appropriate, researched and informative sources (or references course materials) to support ideas.
- Late or so far at the end of the unit as to make no meaningful contribution.
- Little evidence of critical analysis of a posted idea with no clear connections drawn to professional practice.
|
Incomplete
(5 points) |
- Discussion postings are merely perfunctory. For example, many
of the postings are "I think so too" or "I disagree" without
elaboration of thinking, or there is excessive quoting from the
readings without any significant supporting evidence of the topic.
- Discussion postings include unclear questions that do not move
beyond yes or no answers and/or fail to respond to classmates'
postings.
- No evidence of critical analysis of a posted idea with no clear connections drawn to professional practice.
