Discussion Board dates are when I grade them. You should be posting regularly.

Last year 3 posts a week was about a B.

Tests 20% each test. Both will be take home. No fair visiting with other humans on the questions! Open notes, open internet. Be sure to cite anything that isn’t your own words. I grade these personally. Any plagiarism will zero out your score. Better to overcite than undercite. The answers do need to be at least 50% meaningful thoughts from you! I’ll post tests about a week before they are due.

Discussion Board An online forum for posting comments, urls, videos, asking and answering question. 15% of your grade. 1 point for each content related post, question or answer. 1 point for each suggested video as long as it has an accompanying paragraph about why anyone else should watch it. I grade this personally.
