Evaluation Criteria

Exemplary

  • Questions
    Discussion postings include thought-provoking questions designed to elicit responses from other participants.

  • Postings
    Discussion postings clearly indicate understanding of course readings and are completed before the deadline, meet or exceed the minimum number required, and are straight to the point, clearly worded, and respond constructively to others' ideas. Responses are posted to postings/questions of other participants and enhance the class discussion.

Proficient

  • Questions
    Discussion postings include questions that move beyond yes or no answers, and elicit responses from one other participant.
  • Postings
    Discussion postings are timely, relevant and include some feedback about the readings and responses to others' comments in the discussions. Meets the minimum number of postings per week.

Partially Proficient

  • Questions
    Discussion postings include questions that do not move beyond yes or no answers, and fail to elicit responses from other participants.
  • Postings
    Discussion postings are too few in number, or too trivial to fully meet the requirement. For example, most of the postings are "I think so too" or "I disagree", but lack any argument that adds to the discussion; or there is excessive quoting from the material without any real supporting evidence of how the topic might integrate with their classroom teaching.

Incomplete

  • Questions
    Discussion postings include unclear questions that do not move beyond yes or no answers and/or fail to respond to classmates' postings.
  • Postings
    Discussion postings are below the minimum required two postings per week or contributions are merely perfunctory. For example, most of the postings are "I think so too" or "I disagree", but lack any argument that adds to the discussion, or there is excessive quoting from the readings without any real supporting evidence of the topic.
