Grading

For the first few weeks, as we develop our world, you will be graded based on your contributions to the wiki. You MUST be signed on in order for your contributions to count. Initially, contributions may be discussion questions, answers, book suggestions, discussions about books you are reading or other ideas for our world. Maps of regions (or of the whole world) will also count as a contribution. Editing another person's work (with their permission) will also count as a contribution. As the class goes on, you will be expected to add historical documents, legends, flora and fauna, characters, cultures and other narratives from your region.

Since all of our work will be based on this wikispace, you will be asked to leave the class if you sabotage another person's work.

A contribution must be substantial in order to count. Saying things like "Me, too," "I agree," or "Good idea" will not count toward your required posts. A substantial post should be 4-6 sentences in length and should contribute to to discussion.

I n addition, if you do not follow the Rules for Wiki Use in your posting, that post will not count and that will affect your overall grade.

Grade Scale 5+ contributions per week = 4 3-4 contributions per week = 3 2 contributions per week = 2 1 contribution per week = 1 0 contributions = 0
