Class Rubric for Blogs


Okay, just a brief attempt to flesh these out, working with what was done in class:

To get a grade of A, postings must…demonstrate engagement with the question. Responses should ask questions of the texts and issues at hand and work toward answering those questions. An A posting is both reader-friendly and invites a dialogue with classmates who may be posting in reply. A-quality posts pull in ideas from class discussion and from other texts from this semester or even from outside reading, previous classes, etc.

B postings…meet most of the criteria above but do not often synthesize that week’s topic with outside materials materials. Questions asked do not move the class conversation forward. B-quality postings may be difficult to read, either because the writer attempts an overly-formal style unsuited to peer dialogue or due to awkward blog styling, format and colors.

C postings…are just kind of there. Questions and responses are perfunctory. Blogs are completed but not posted in time to allow feedback and discussion among peers.
