Grading of websites

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.

Extra Credit Projects

  • Project 1:
    • Photograph the board during each class and post these notes on our class OpeLab site.
  • Project 2:
    • Photograph the construction site for our new building across from NAMM and bring these photographs to class.  We will review them on a regular schedule.  Consider taking photos on a regular basis from the same vantage point so we can see the progress of the work.

Both of these projects are available to as many students who want to contribute. We will discuss how to post and categorize these both.  Please let me know if you are interested by sending an email to me.

Assignment No 3 – Your Schedule

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