DFQ POSTING GRADING RUBRIC

The following needs improvement issues were observed while reading your post/s. These issues (identified below) will be indicated by an X (mark) signifying a need for improvement. In the Content (60%) element point deductions will apply to each Question (DFQ). If a needs improvement issue occurs more than once in your post related to the Organization (40%) element, repeated point deductions will not be assessed. Help with an Organization improvement issue is provided so you can then learn about the needs improvement issue with which you are grappling. You’ll be able to see examples of how to remedy these issues in future postings. Compare what you’ve posted with examples you see in the “help” sources I’ve recommended you consult. You’ll notice there are numbers in some cases such as 3.08 APA (indicating a paragraph in APA Manual 6^th Ed. – no student should be without) or you may observe references to APA Owl Purdue (found in the External Links button or google their website). These two references(APA & OP) are your best written sources for information related to understanding and improving scholarly writing. Additionally, Troy University has a staff to help you with your writing; you can email the Troy University Writing Center at [email protected]. You may call them by dialing 334-670-3305.

LATE POSTS ARE NOT GRADED AND EARN ZERO POINTS.

Students can earn up to 40 points for their DFQ weekly responses (see Rules). There are 5 DFQ weekly assignments x 40 points= 200 possible points earned for the course.

The points system below applies to any of the DFQ responses that are in a week’s assignment. In other words if any response for any DFQ assigned during a given week’s assignment has issues, points will be deducted up to the maximum.

Content & Word Count (can earn up to 24 points) Note: point deductions cannot exceed 24 even if you have more than 4 DFQs that do not meet the standard for primary post.

___Did not fully address the question posed — per DFQ (-6)

___Secondary post (response to others) (6)

___Did not add value-Second response (DFQ Posting Rules-trivial) (-2)
