Adding Social Activities to Your Course
Making the maximum grade a multiple of the number of assessment elements allows
the students to more easily interpret their grades. For example, suppose a workshop
will be assessed on five elements. For each element, the assessor will choose from
four statements:
• The workshop does not meet this requirement in any way (0 points).
• The workshop partially meets this requirement (1 point).
• The workshop meets this requirement (2 points).
• The workshop exceeds this requirement (3 points).
Using the above statements, element would be worth a maximum of three points.
With five elements, the workshop would have a maximum grade of 15. This would
make it easy for the student to interpret his or her grade.
From the student's point of view, the assessment form looks like this:
Notice that for each assessment criteria, the student can enter comments. This is a
default setting for the workshop.
