Wiki+Posting+Assignment+and+Rubric


 * Here are some guidelines to consider in your postings on this Wiki. If you have questions or would like to make changes, then please suggest them.**


 * 1) Protocol for posting threads and contributing to an online discussion are as follows:**
 * There should be a posting (at least one, other than the novel study assignment) both in first term and in second term. ||
 * Postings should be a minimum of one short paragraph and a maximum of two paragraphs. ||
 * Avoid postings that are limited to 'I agree' or 'great idea', etc. If you agree (or disagree) with a posting then say why you agree by supporting your statement with concepts from the readings or by bringing in a related example or experience. ||
 * Address the questions as much as possible (don't let the discussion stray). ||
 * Try to use quotes from the articles that support your postings. Include page numbers when you do that. Try to add information in the form of resources and weblinks when possible. ||
 * Build on others responses to create threads. ||
 * Bring in related prior knowledge (work experience, prior coursework, readings, etc.) ||
 * Use proper etiquette (proper language, typing, etc.). ||
