criteria for evaluation

Not to preempt the Evaluation Team, but there ARE and WILL BE "expectations" which will guide grading calculations. I need to be able to assess (at a minimum) that you've learned something about the key terms in the Course Description (which was handed out on Day 1 and posted in the Coursewiki for reference). Because the class is on the dynamics of groups, you will be expected to

1. demonstrate knowledge about the key terms in relation to other key terms and
2. illustrate the interrelationships with specific examples from our class (some of which are documented).

contribution

The measure under discussion by the Evaluation Team is contribution. This is the term they posed for self-evaluation during the last class.

Self-scoring ranged from 2-4 on the rubric established since the beginning of class, between "ok" and "Great!" (Honest self-evaluation is appreciated - and noted.) Activities cited as evidence include (in no particular order or hierarchy):

• volunteering to type up the proposal/do a report
• engaging in the class
• getting excited about the wiki
• participating
• articulating my personal ideas
• changing my ideas to fit better with others' ideas
• initiating tasks that need to be accomplished
• working together outside of class
• coordinating schedules/trips for my team/working group
• finalizing results of brainstorms
• pitching ideas to the class
• writing on the board
• organizing group discussion
• asking Steph about limits and possibilities of technology and process
• bringing up ideas
