2023 GRADING RUBRIC Instructions and Scoring Your first post should not begin with Post 1 2 etcetera or | Assignment Collections

Instructions and Scoring

Your first post should not begin with “Post 1, 2, etcetera” or “I agree or disagree”

🙁   

You are required to make 3 posts on 3 separate days (see scoring below), therefore it is strongly suggested that you make your first post early in the week (by Wednesday) so that you have 4 remaining days to make your 2 final posts (week ends Sunday night).

🙂   

Your responses should be complete, detailed and well thought out.  I am looking for original input so please share your experiences so we can all learn from them.

🙂   

Please note, any questions that I ask within the threaded discussion can be answered and will count as posts like the general topic below.  I am looking forward to some great discussions!

🙂   

The Office Talk will close at 11:59 PM Sunday.  You will not be able to make any responses once the discussion has closed, please allocate your time accordingly.
