7. DiscussionsValue20% of final grade.Participating in all discussion forums for each learning unit is mandatory. If you do not participate in amandatory discussion forum you will be withdrawn from the course and required to retake it. .EvaluationYour discussion grade will be evaluated on each requirement below. Receiving a high score in one (1) criterion does notequal an overall high discussion question grade. Posts must address all requirements from every category:Quantity and Timeliness (15%)Posts should be between 150-200 words (not including references).Posts should spread out during the week to facilitate interaction with others.Discussion post deadlines are based on Atlantic Standard Time. (Sunday at midnight is the end of each week.)Evidence of Reading (20%)Reflects the degree to which you have read and absorbed, and then incorporatedinto the discussion, the readingsassigned to the unit (or in some cases, to the specific questions themselves).Reflects the extent to which you have read other postings on the topic from your peers and have integrated theirperspectivesinto the conversation.Encourages students to engage in all the parts of the questions and topics.Critical Thinking, Reflection, and Participation in Ongoing Discussions (50%)Ensure your posts take the discussion to a deeper level, contributing new perspectives or examples, asking probingquestions, stimulating reflection and providing graduate level conversation - this is a higher level skill.Read what has already been posted (or, if starting the discussion, avoid regurgitating course readings and, instead, buildon the readings by offering your insights, reflections, critique, concerns, or unique perspective).Demonstrate respect for differences in opinion; debate and critical reflection is encouraged but it must remain respectful.Although encouragement and support for each other is appreciated, contributions must go beyond “cheerleading” to addsomething of substance to the discussion.Quality of the Writing (15%)Focus on writing in a clear, intelligent, and professional manner.Avoid mini-essays compiled in isolation; discussions are intended to be interactive.Avoid colloquialisms and texting-style shorthand - professional grammar, spelling, and style is expected.Provide clear and accurate citations and/or links to external references where necessary – again, you do have to giveclear credit for other peoples’ work.Clearly indicate and cite all direct quotations (plagiarism will result in a “Zero”).11/11/24, 9:57 PMSyllabushttps://courses.yorkvilleu.ca/mod/book/tool/print/index.php?id=32404479/14
7.1. RubricYour discussion grades per question will be based on the rubric. You are expected to contribute to all posts in the unitsthey are posted. In Units 1, 3, & 5, your instructor will provide one grade reflecting your overall contributions to thediscussion. It is absolutely critical to be active in these forums throughout the course. You must contribute a minimumnumber of posts to register a grade for EACH of these three grading periods; a grade of ‘0’ in any grade period(a resultof not posting anything in that grade period) will result in you being withdrawn from the course and required to retakeit.*The Unit 1 grade will be worth 20% of the final discussion grade, the Unit 3 grade (covering Units 2 & 3 discussions) willbe worth 40% of the final discussion grade, and the Unit 5 grade (covering Unit 4 & 5 discussions) will be worth 40% ofthe final discussion grade.Class discussion is an important and significant part of an online course. The discussion boards are the heart of thesediscussions and student engagement is essential for their success. While class discussion can be characterized by free-flowing conversation and the exchange of ideas, there are identifiable characteristics that distinguish outstandingcontributions to class discussion. The criteria on this rubric will be used to assess the quality of your initial postings andresponses to the postings and comments of your peers and instructor during class discussion.Participation in each discussion forum is mandatory. This is based on regulatory conditions.DiscussionRubric15 points13 points10 points8 points6 points4 points2 points0 pointsQuantityandTimeliness(15%)5 or moreposts pertopic.
