Participation+Expectation+Rubric

= Participation Expectation Rubric =

//A message from your instructor //: This rubric is designed to help you self-evaluate your progress in this online course. It is a developmental rubric, and you will be asked to complete it two times over the course of the semester. This is an opportunity to delve deeply into your own learning and design process. It is also a strong test of your ethical and professional stance on assessment. As designers, we know that one draft wonders are almost never complete, and that rethinking and collaboration is the essence of good design practice. The instructor will use the three completed rubrics as a guide to assessing your final grade for the course.

Criteria Definitions
Exceeds expectations  = bring in new resources, new ideas, and collaborative efforts above and beyond expectations and requirements; brings exciting and inviting ideas to asynchronous discussion; models collaborative and timely project management skills, and substantially contributes new ideas and resources for the class and work group; provides effective and timely critique for peers (This is A work and not easy to achieve)

Meets expectations:  clearly and //completely// fulfills all expectations as written; evidence is on course and project wikis, is a dependable collaborator (This is B work)

Needs work:  not all expectations are met and participation is minimal or lacks substance in all or some areas. Do not attempt to “go back” to “catch up” in discussions or feedback—work to make your current and future participation at or beyond standard. (If current and future expectations are not fulfilled, then this is C work or below.)

 * // Use this section to think about your work and participation holistically. Are you prepared for readings, and to what depth? Have you posted all of your work online in the appropriate space? What have you done to support the collaborative work environment? //

// I suggest that you do more than check off a column. Instead, type in one major piece of evidence from your work, or better yet, put in a link to it. // || Prepared to discuss and question readings each week. ||  ||   ||   ||

 * =Asynchronous discussions= || **Exceeds Expectations** || **Meets Expectations** || **Needs work** ||
 * // In this section, be thoughtful about your level of participation. Are your ideas substantial, and do you write them in ways to facilitate and build scholarly discussion? What evidence do you have? Can you link to it? //

// Revisit your responses to peers. Did you help develop their ideas and bring new perspectives to them? Where is the evidence? //

= = || Weekly participation in discussion ||  ||   ||   ||
 * ^  || Post one substantial idea or issue that arises from the readings or current events that connect to the readings; posting more frequently is encouraged but not required ||   ||   ||   ||

 * =// Here is another opportunity to reflect upon your course work to date. //=

// Think about whether or not you are really extending your thinking and design ideas. Or are you thinking there is a lot of repetition? //
