<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>It is set for up to 4 questions,

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>In each case the one grading would
enter a percentage value based on a 100% scale (so excellent would equal 100%,
while 65% would indicate a failed grade, but with reasonable effort, and 0%
would equal no effort made – of course any number in between can be entered,
which affects the final grade)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>5% for posting the initial post
on-time<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>65% for the content of the initial
post (I don’t have a rubric for this but generally assign a number of lines and
have some key concepts which have to be touched on)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>5% for adequate participation in
the discussion (you gauge this as you wish – if you require 2 responses the
give a 100% if they provide both and 50% if they only provide 1 and 0% if
none)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>25% for quality of responses
(again subjective)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>If you don’t enter anything into
the response section, the percentages shift to the content area for the initial
response. All the calculations for the grading are on the second page of the
workbook.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>I don’t know if this is what you
were asking for but it has been a big help for me. After I grade each student’s
participation, I copy the data into a word document for later verification if
needed and to be able to answer questions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
