Creating Identity Discussion Rubric – The Creating Identity discussion rubric measures student participation through the examination of four components. Formatting considers the students ability to use proper APA citations, quality focuses on the students contributions to the discussions, quantity examines whether the student completes the minimum number of required posts, and timeliness evaluates when the student posted to the discussion. The culmination of these four components creates a summative assessment, providing a definitive grade for student work in the discussion.

In addition, the live chat sessions will be included as a contribution to the overall formative grade that students will receive upon completion of all components of the course. While the chat sessions do not have a rubric or a summative grade associated with them, they will provide me with the opportunity to gauge student learning and understanding of the proposed concept while at the same time allowing students to share any difficulties or challenges they faced while working through the course. In addition, students can use these sessions as an opportunity to seek assistance with any components of the course.
