Grade breakdown

Some have asked for me to post the grade breakdown I had up on the screen on Tuesday, so here it is:

Item	Percent
Blog Participation	10
Face-to-Face Participation	10
Proposal	10
Final Project	35
Final Presentation	35
Total	100

A few more notes:

• Blog and face to face participation is not graded only on quantity, but also quality of participation. So if all you do is post 3 word postings to the blog, that won't be sufficient. The goal here is to post (and ask/comment) challenging and reflective, as well as informative remarks.
• Please remember that blog and face to face interaction is crucial to the knowledge management of the course. In essence, our knowledge is being harvested so we and others will benefit in the future.
  
• The proposal, final project, and final presentation will contain team grades that are altered by an individual participation percentage. At the end of the semester each team member will take a short survey that focuses on the work of each of their teammates. The surveys for each individual will be compiled and added to the instructors' evaluation of that individual's contribution. The resulting percentage will be multiplied by the total for those assignments.
  
• For example, if Johnny gets a .96 on his surveys, then his final project grade will be the overall team grade multiplied by .96.
  
• This method will account for individual and group efforts.
