Submitting Activities
All assigned activities are based on the information presented in assigned readings, videos, websites, and other sources.
What are the general requirements?
How will activities be graded?
Will students receive feedback?
Students will receive feedback when necessary. Answer-specific feedback (i.e. questions directly pertaining to your answer) for activities submitted in the Assignments tool will appear within the submission in red and general feedback will appear in the comment box. If the activity has no errors an "Excellent" or "Maikaʻi" may appear in the comment box. For more in-depth activities the grading turn around may take up to 1-2 weeks but do not fret, a grade will be submitted. I will also provide responses to some of the class discussion threads. This semester I have 3 online classes, each requiring a lot of time for grading and updating so you may not see grades in the Laulima GRADEBOOK immediately.
All assigned activities are based on the information presented in assigned readings, videos, websites, and other sources.
What are the general requirements?
- All answers provided must be original, i.e. in your own words. You may use short quotes from the materials that must be accompanied by an original explanation AND a citation.
- All submissions, including discussion posts, should be submitted using formal writing standards. Re-read and edit your work before clicking submit.
- When submitting activities in the Laulima Assignments tool as an attachment, your work must be formatted as .doc, .docx, or .pdf. The activity title should be included in the document along with the name of the student.
- No late work will be accepted.
How will activities be graded?
- Depending upon the activity, full credit will be given when the instructions are followed and the student submission is original, insightful, carefully organized, and well articulated.
- If an activity requires a citation, the full citation must be included or the student will earn 0 points. Plagiarism is a serious offense, punishable by expulsion, which is why citations are necessary.
