Final Blog Post Grading Guidelines
Due: by Sunday, May 720 points
I will evaluate the final blog post on the following criteria:
- 5 points - Introduction. Mostly covered in presentation. Just say again the goal of the project and what you hoped to learn.
- 10 points - A summary of what you discovered from the research you did. What surprised you, or what did you learn that was unexpected when you first started?
- 5 points - Implications of the project, both what it means now and next steps.

ReplyDeletePosted it. I assume you saw the announcement and post on FB. Just thought I would make it explicit here in case any one was reading this. :)
DeleteWhen I tell you. :) Creating it now. Just want to get the readings and links up here so you have access to them. (That actually took longer than I thought.) I will make sure you have at least 48 hours, but can add a day, if that eases the burden for other finals you may have.
