The grading ranged from B to A.  If no schedule was posted then the current grade will show as an F.  F grades will be changed when the work is submitted but will be downgraded as late as per the course policy.

Grading Criteria included the following:

  • Does your schedule appear on the website as an image?
  • Is your link setup to open in another tab?  (it should)
  • Did your name appear on your schedule?
  • Did your team use a consistent color scheme?
  • Was all time identified?  There should not be large areas of time not accounted for.  Additionally you should include time for commuting, sleep, etc.  If you do not want to write down what you do during some of the time title is “personal time” to maintain your privacy.
  • Did you show enough detail?  Did you include when you study and prepare or do work for your classes.

Mimu created a very nice schedule using her own template – although she did leave her name off of it.  She should consider sharing the format with her team.  Additionally the team needs to use a consistent color palette.

The websites are graded – Teams received either an A or an A- grade – please check blackboard.

The sites were reviewed based on the following:

  • Were the sites completed on time
  • The quality of the graphics (please make sure you select other than the default theme)
  • The use of categories (have they been created and are they used)
  • Removal of sample posts and unused pages.  (please cleanup your team sites)

Assignment Grading

I will be grading the first two assignments on Monday afternoon.  I have taken  a preliminary look at your sites and have linked them to our class website.  Please read the comments below as this will affect the grading of your work.

Interviews:  For your interviews to get an A they must be complete in the following manner.  They should address all three of the questions and each must include a photo.  Additionally they should not be written in first person (I always wanted to be an Architect….)  since you are supposed to interview someone else on the team.  Each interview must include a byline.  If you wrote it yourself it will not be accepted as this does not meet the requirement of working as a team.

Schedules: Schedules must be included for each team member and posted on your OpenLab site.  They must all be color coded in the same manner for each team member.

Map out your weekly schedule (Monday-Sunday) and color code this by the following:

  • Non-Academic Time – (other responsibilities, family, work etc.)
  • Commute Time
  • Sleep time
  • Free Time (hopefully you have some)As a team color code your schedules –

Add to this schedule when you expect study or do work for each of your classes and when your team will meet and work together each week.  Consider also other means of working together including texting, email, chat, Skype, etc.
