Assessments and grading

There are 13 learning modules, and three assessments. The grading rubric is below:

Weekly learning modules

1. Posted weekly (or earlier) on Blackboard and Course Website
2. Include readings, quizzes/assignments, supplementary lectures
3. Complete the work within the week (submit by due date)
4. Late work may not be graded
5. Lots of assignment choice (see next slide)

Assignment choice

• modules have multiple possible assignments, (e.g., quiz and/or writing assignment).

• you choose which assignments to complete.

• Complete as many as you want, max 85 points toward final grade

• If you miss an assignment that is OK, you can do an extra one in a future module

Assessments

• There are three major assessments worth 5 points each.

• Assessments are self-reflective and used to collaboratively set and achieve goals for engaging with the course material.

• These are low pressure, and more info about them will be released on Blackboard.

Grading/Ungrading

• Except for the optional weekly quizzes, all assignments and major assessments are self-assessed.

• Students submit their assignment and recommend their own grades/points for the assignment

• Upon submission of the final assessment, students give a recommendation for their final course grade

• The instructor makes final grading decisions and considers the self-assessments.

It is your responsibility to understand the CUNY academic integrity policy and conduct your behavior according to a high standard of academic integrity.
