Discussions

Communication and discussion will form a rich part of our learning as we share ideas, make connections, and make our thinking visible throughout the course. As one of the curricular competencies, communication will make up 15% of your final score and that will include all discussions within our course site, as well as linked critical thinking activities in spaces such as Flip Grid, Padlet, and Miro. Below you will find a list of discussions for each module as well as the general assessment criteria to guide your posts.

Assignments & Projects

Throughout the course you will engage in discussions and visible thinking activities as part of each module. Below is a list of specific assignments in each module as well as coming due dates. As the course develops, the following will be linked directly to each assignment page with details, examples, and specific rubrics.

Competency-Based Assessment

Your score in this course will be a reflection of your skills, as they develop through the various discussions, activities, assignments, and projects. Rather than each assignment being worth a percent of your total grade, your grade will be determined by your most recent and consistent performance in the BC Curricular Competencies. The competencies below will be assessed in the assignments, discussions and activities within the modules listed above throughout the course, giving you multiple opportunities to build your skills.

Assessment Scale & Criteria

Each assignment will be accompanied by a specific rubric that outlines the criteria related to the task in relation to both the competencies above as well as the scale below.
