Assessment
- Watching the video and taking the evaluation quiz is worth 40% of the grade and graded as participation only – there are no make-up videos.
- The written summary is worth 60% of the grade and can be submitted electronically, by the due date, in D2L drop box or by email; you can also hand in a hard copy by the due date. This summary will be graded based on the conditions listed above and based on writing ability, spelling, punctuation, and accuracy of content knowledge. This part of the assignment can be turned in for partial credit without taking the quiz (if you have watched the video).
