=Welcome to our CTL1000 wiki != We're hoping that this forum will enable a collaborative process to develop some of the resources that will serve as the basis for evaluation in this course.

To begin with, here is a tentative version of the **Rubric for Contribution to Discussion Forums (CTL 1000 LEC 6331 Online)**.

We welcome your suggestions for revisions. Please note any comments you might have in the 'Your Comments' column of the following rubric :  2 points || Good 3 points || Very Good 4 points || Distinguished 5 points || Your Comments || V. MacDonald: May I suggest that we operationalize the term 'great' as it relates to insight and accuracy please? Perhaps we could use the term thorough instead of great....within The Ontario Curriculum...the terms used are usually 'limited', 'some', 'considerable' and 'thorough' ||  Looking forward to seeing your feedback. Take good care, Heather, Salima, Christine
 * Criteria || Beginning
 * **Includes and applies relevant course concepts, theories and readings.** || Sometimes refers to concepts and theories from readings. || Often refers to relevant course concepts and theories correctly. || Evaluates and synthesizes course concepts and theories correctly. || Critically evaluates and synthesizes course concepts and theories with great insight and accuracy. ||  RDynes: Could we discuss changing the term "correctly" in "Good" and "Very Good" to something oriented to the 'applies' part of the original criteria. This would turn the statement into something like "often refers to(and applies)...theories in a relevant manner" The term 'correctly,' and please correct me if I'm wrong, seems to imply there is only one right way! (Thanks for this opportunity for discussion by the way - great learning experience)
