ESL 533 FAQS

To earn all participation points, you must do all of the following:

THOROUGHLY respond to all initial posts. After that, you must respond to 3 other classmates with substantive responses. This means, they must be on topic, and engaging (and more than 3 sentences). If I am unable to click my SUBSTANTIVE POST button for each of your responses, you will not receive full credit.

Also, grammar and spelling play a role as well so points are taken if you are not conducting spell check on your responses. As aspiring educators, you must show that you deserve to stand in front of students and teach them. Everyone notices writing that is not scholarly, with spelling and grammatical errors so please check your work.

Discussion posts do not follow the late policy rule. Once the due date passes for submission, you will lose points if you do not participate.

Remember! Discussion posts have due dates! You DO NOT have the entire week to complete them, from Thursday to Wednesday. You're actually given about 3 days to initially post and respond to classmates. Please complete them with responses by the due date indicated in the Planner each week.

You received this message because you most likely did not submit all assignments properly, or click SELECT ALL before submitting. See the video and screenshot below.

Each day an assignment is late, I must take 10% off of what your grade would have been, not off of the full set of points. Ex. If a grade is worth 100 points and you earned 50 of those 100 points on your late work, I must take 10% off of 50% for each day late. Email me if this is not clear.

Your assignment was sent back to you with a message stating why. This may happen if you submitted early and still have time to fix it before the due date. If not, a zero will be assigned with feedback.
