(5 points) For the first part of the

(5 points) For the second part of the
grade the student is expected to respond to someone else
- Answers are expected to be a minimum of 5
complete sentences and at least 5 lines long or 120 words to
receive any credit. (Because of formatting changes 5 lines may
publish as 4 so check your word count) There is no partial
credit. I COUNT WORDS AND LINES.
- E-mail and Instant Message abbreviations
are not accepted. (i.e. LOL etc)
- All answers are expected to be in
accordance with level 2 of the OCTC expectations although the
word ‘I’ is allowed on the assignment. Watch your grammer!
LEVEL 2
Expression at this
level is one or two paragraphs in length and expresses a complete
thought or supports a position, often in response to a question.
The paragraphs include an introduction, elaboration, and
conclusion. Complete sentences are required, and correct grammar
and spelling should be exhibited.
- After the due date the Discussion Board
will be closed. By that point all points will be listed on
BlackBoard. Check with me if you have responses that were not
graded.
- Grades will be submitted to Gradebook. If
an answer does not meet 5 sentences-5 line minimum it will
receive a 0. If there is no submission after a due date a 0
will be posted.
- Students can change (improve) their grade
by making another submission. For instance if you receive a 0
for your response go back and make an additional response.
- I may respond and indicate a submission
needs to be improved. However, I may not. Otherwise watch
Gradebook.
- You can write as many response as you
would like on Discussion Board as long as at least 2 of them
meet the above requirements
