Hello Bio30,
This blog site will serve as a place to archive our progress in Bio30, to table concerns and/or questions, to offer additional thoughts or comments, or simply to "dump" on the course/content/teacher/classmates.
You will be expected to submit several postings during this course. Mr. C will provide a schedule of who is responsible each day.
Postings will be graded as an assignment.
- As a minimum (1st mark) you should provide a brief review of what we did in class that day (bullet points are OK).
- Additional credit (2nd mark) will be given for providing thoughts about the material (e.g. where the topic(s) apply to real life, questions that remain unanswered, extensions on topics discussed, connections to other topics or courses, etc... UNACCEPTABLE = "I thought the class was good"). Give thoughts about the MATERIAL, not the CLASS.
- Full credit (3rd mark) will be given for doing the first two requirements, AND going 'above and beyond' (e.g. providing additional information, links to other relevant sites, photos, etc...). The easiest approach is to show evidence of an attempt to answer a question raised in the "thoughts" section.
NOTES:
- WRITE YOUR NAME AND THE DATE OF THE DAY BEING DISCUSSED IN THE TITLE LINE
- CLEARLY indicate each requirement with headings. Example: Review of material covered...... Thoughts on material..... "Above and beyond"...
- AT THE END OF YOUR POSTING, GIVE YOURSELF A MARK OUT OF THREE (see marking guide above). YOU WILL BE ASKED TO JUSTIFY YOUR MARK IF IT SEEMS UNWARRANTED.
- ENTRIES MUST BE POSTED WITHIN 5 DAYS OF THE CLASS (including weekends) OR A GRADE OF ZERO WILL BE ASSIGNED.
- Feel free to have some fun with this site, but rudeness will not be tolerated ;(
Have a great day!
Mr. C
