Other Important Information:

The Grading System:

Each lesson will have a total value of twenty (20) points and will take the format of: Arrival, question, question, practice/mini-activity, practical/main activity, closure. This format may vary at times. Arrival, the questions and the mini activity will carry the weight of twelve (12) points while the main activity will carry the weight of eight (8) points. In terms of answering questions, you gain the points for them regardless if your character provides a verbal or non verbal answer. Honestly, I don't expect them to know every single thing. For the activities, these points are secured based on details and creativity.


Question 1 - 3 points possible (verbal and non-verbal correct/incorrect responses accepted. Answers that are completely off topic are also accepted with varying degrees of IC consequences)

1 = member produces a post that does not in any way acknowledge the prompt, (makes absolutely no mention of the professor or the question or anything else happening in the classroom) OR produces a post with a copied response from web/another student without putting it into their own words or making mention that they're piggy backing off the person who's answer they're copying.
2 = member produces a post with a response that is original/in their own words but lacks details such as a charries personal opinion/thoughts/feelings/reaction or any other detail that adds individuality to the post.
3 = member produces a post with a detailed response that is original/in their own words in addition to personal thoughts/reactions/feelings/opinions. (Note: These do not have to be explicitly said by the character, just mentioned in the post to create depth rather than a post that states the answer and ends.) Thoughts on a characters lack of interest in the subject, their excitement about whatever is happening, what they'd rather be doing or however else you choose to showcase your character's personality.

Practice/Mini-Activity - 4 points possible (at least 1 post required -- does not need the "correct" end result to get maximum points)

2 = member produces a post with minimal detail (provides character action, missing many essential details such as character thoughts, impressions, opinions, feelings)
3 = member produces a post with acceptable detail (provides character actions, missing some essential details ex. saying a character is annoyed but not mentioning why, having a character give up without reason, refuse to do the activity without reason etc.)
4 = member produces a post with exceptional detail (provides character actions/thoughts, eg. a post in which a character's thoughts/feelings are explored or made mention of (negative, positive or neutral), actions are provided in some amount of detail such as how they do whatever they're doing (carefully? sloppily?) etc)


Practical/Main Acitivty - 8 points possible (at least 1 post required -- does not need the "correct" end result to get maximum points)

1 - 4 = member produces a post with minimal detail (provides character action, missing many essential details such as character thoughts, impressions, opinions, feelings)
5 - 6 member produces a post with acceptable detail (provides character actions, missing some essential details ex. saying a character is annoyed but not mentioning why, having a character give up without reason, refuse to do the activity without reason etc.)
7 - 8 = member produces a post with exceptional detail (provides character actions/thoughts, eg. a post in which a character's thoughts/feelings are explored or made mention of (negative, positive or neutral), actions are provided in some amount of detail such as how they do whatever they're doing (carefully? sloppily?) etc.)

The Time Frames:
Catch up posts are accepted even though you will be given adequate time for answering questions and participating in activities. I know RL can get hectic. You will have about twenty four (24) hours from the time of my posts to answer questions. However, the mini and main activities timings can vary. I will specify this during the classes in an OOC message. Classes will last approximately ten days. The Time Zone that will be used is Eastern Standard Time (EST).


If I change these systems, I will be sure to specify so in my class posts in the form of OOC notes so that you can earn as many points as you can
