Grading Rubrics
1. Discussion Forum Rubric
Participation in discussion forums is critical to the successful completion of this course. Please keep in mind the following guidelines to help
you develop and formulate sound, thought-provoking responses and earn the maximum grade available.
General Guidelines
Take the time to organize your thoughts prior to formulating your response.
Use proper citations and formatting when stating examples or quoting sources.
Carefully proofread your response before submitting it to the forum.
Provide peer feedback using polite and courteous language.
Post substantive contributions. Posts such as “I agree” or “Good job” will not be awarded any credit in the discussion forums.
Rubric Guidelines
Engagement / Interaction counts the number of peers you interact with. To earn full credit, you must engage in a dialog with at least
two or more peers. The content of your posts must be meaningful and relevant and should encourage further discussion.
Participation counts the number of days you were active in each of the discussion forums in a module. To earn full credit, you must
contribute to the forum over the course of two or more days for EACH forum where there are more than one in a module, not collectively.
For example, if you have a course that has two discussion forums, you must participate and engage the required number of days and
times for EACH forum. They do not count together. They are graded separately.
Content / Topic Relevance measures you’re maintaining focus on the topic being discussed. To earn full credit, all your discussion forum
contributions need to address the main topic.
Timeliness measures when you first post your response to the discussion forum question. To earn full credit, you must post your
response to the main topic before the first post due date for each forum.
The due dates for posting your first posts in the discussion forums can be found on the course calendar, course schedule, the News
and Announcement forums, or in the actual discussion forum post directions themselves. If you have any questions, contact your
instructor at the appropriate email address found in the syllabus.
Please note that discussion forums are graded as separate assignments. For courses that have more than one discussion forum,
guidelines and requirements are for EACH forum, not collectively.
Content / Topic Knowledge measures your understanding of the course material and topic. To earn full credit you must display an
excellent understanding of the material.
