CONTACTS
I have set up a few types of contacts for
this course that I would like you to use as appropriate. Some of your
assignments may require you to use one or more of the following contacts or
important links.
Discussion - Discussion will take place a few times over the
semester. I will post a discussion topic on the Assignment page of this website
with the date of the classroom discussion. You will also be able to
access the discussion through my SLN CHE112 course. For each of the
module discussions, I’ll evaluate the quality of your submissions using a 0 - 5
scale. I will accept your highest 2 discussions for a total number of points
for your discussion grade per each module. Please
note: The number of quality points I award for each discussion post is not
negotiable.
In addition to the points awarded for
quality, anyone who responds to the discussion question or article on the first
two days the discussion is open will receive an additional point. No points are
awarded for posts before or after the discussion dates.
