Assignment
A1 Feedback
04/05/11 16:48 Filed in: 581
I just finished the grading of the first assignment, and you should receive a feedback form soon. As I was working on the grading, I realized that there was a mismatch between the suggested structure of the assignment, and the grading criteria listed in the assignment description. If possible, I’d like to avoid regrading all of the assignments, but if you feel that yours was graded harshly, feel free to discuss it with me. Several students lost points because it was not clear how the data collected through surveys were incorporated into the assessment. I’m willing to consider amended assignments that discuss this aspect.
I’ve made some modifications to the assignment description, which hopefully will make it easier to avoid these problems next time. In particular, I’ve revised the guidelines for writing the evaluation, and changed the grading criteria to mach the points listed in those guidelines.

A1: Added Evaluation Criteria

For some reason, the evaluation criteria in the assignment description were invisible. I’ve fixed that, although the formatting is still a bit off.
Blackboard Access Set Up

I had my quarterly wrestling match with Blackboard, and it should be available now. We'll use it for the submission of assignments and for the research paper and presentation (under "581 Wiki"). If you already have a topic, pick a date, and enter your name and topic in the table with the presentation schedule. You'll also add a Wiki page there with your topic proposal, and later the draft and final versions of your paper and presentation material. Both A1 and the topic proposal are due next week.
Please note that the Wiki and the Discussion Board are part of a different, permanent course ( CSC-0480 ALL RELATED COURSES (CSC-0480-FKURFESS)), and linked to the 581 menu entry. I’ve copied the enrollment to that course, so it will appear in your list of Blackboard courses as well. Depending on how you navigate, you may also see the menu for that course, which has a greenish background. This linking business should be mostly invisible to you, however.
