Discussion Board GRAD
Discussion Board (DB) Participation Rubric | ||||||||
Discussion boards (DBs) are what make an online course a course and not an independent study. | ||||||||
DBs are vital to demonstrating that the learner has met the expected course level outcomes. | ||||||||
Collaboration between peers and your instructor in the DB is an important aspect of the online learning experience and is expected in the course. | ||||||||
Any exceptions to the following DB rubric will be at the instructor’s discretion. | ||||||||
The purpose of a DB is to stimulate critical thinking in a scholarly manner. | ||||||||
Critical thinking consists of synthesis, creating solutions, application to real world situations, and testing, debating, and defending evidence-based solutions. | ||||||||
Critical thinking is not repetition of assigned reading material. Outside research of the literature is a vital part of the DB. | ||||||||
Posts need to be substantive. This means that responses such as "I agree" or "great post" do not meet grading rubric requirements. | ||||||||
Initial posts for each discussion question (DQ) is due no later than Saturday of the unit week. | ||||||||
The initial post must be an answer to the DQ topic, not a comment on other posts. Initial posts for each DB must also include a minimum of three peer-reviewed citations. | ||||||||
Citations must include outside sources and no more than one citation from assigned course readings may be used each week. | ||||||||
While the discussion board tool limits the ability to use APA formatting (e.g., hanging indents), posts must include the required elements of an APA in-text citation and list of references. | ||||||||
