I want to thank you all for the interaction and assistance you've been providing each other. I read all the posts and comments and will be addressing a question from one of them shortly. Before I do so, however, I would like to ask you to clarify with your professor how the blogging is supposed to operate. According to my professor, we are to post a discussion topic each week and we are all to comment and post responses about it. It is a conversation via blogging. But my professor wants a new topic each week (preferably on Monday) and full interaction/participation from everyone. It was also stated that your professor agreed to this weekly participation.
No matter how often or what level of participation there should be, I appreciate your feedback and questions. I'm sure as the semester progresses, we will begin to uncover the positive aspects of this project. Also, as we continue in our classes feel free to ask questions and comments as they arise.
Thanks, Karyn.

Thank you for your posting on participation, although I'm concerned about our grades, it's impossible to get a complete grade for this section of the course if not everyone does their postings, because we are supposed to have 2responses each week in addition to our main response post. I have recieved a check minus thus far because not everyone is completing the postings in time. So can you please tell me what we are supposed to do?

Rachelle,
ReplyDeleteI would contact your professor and let them know that your participation grade should not be based on someone else's lack of participation. This is the approach my professor has taken and I believe it to be a reasonable one. Let your professor know that you have concerns regarding the fairness of the assignment grading. Essentially, your grade should be based on the work that you do. I'm sure your professor understands this point and can clarify any questions you have regarding your grade.
Thank you, Karyn.
