Mini App rubric

I have made a light change in the grading rubric for the mini apps that should facilitate better formatting and encourage you to visit the Writing Center.

10 pts for presentation:
- At least one minute in length
- Summarize the main ideas emphasizing the concept, situation, and what you learned.

25 pts for narrative (I want to fully understand how you interpret the concept, your situation in which it is being applied, and the connection you've made.)

15 pts for format: APA or MLA with proper documentation (intro- body- conclusion)

25 pts for critical thinking (I want to see a level of deep thought and engagement in which you show that you spent some time pondering and reflecting on this assignment.)

75 total points possible

Test one description and rubric

Test One is worth 200 points.

Part one is a case study that you will analyze using the concepts in chapters 2- 4

This part is worth 100 points. You will need to be very clear and expressive in your responses. I will be asking you to identify the parts of a conversation using the terminology we have discussed in class. In addition, you will also give reasoning as to why you are using chosen terms. It is essential that I can see a clear reflection of your comprehension from the textbook.

Part two of the test will concern chapters 2- 4.

This part will be worth 100 points. This portion of the test will be comprised of matching, true or false, fill in the blank and/or multiple choice questions.

You will have approximately one hour to take part two on blackboard and receive part one in advance and send me your response via blackmail email at the time of the test.
