    When answering these questions, keep in mind that I am asking for your opinion, there are no wrong answers. Explain your answers. Be concrete.

    2. Based on your experience in this class, explain why "Technology Integration" is (or is not) important.

    7. Where did the "real learning" take place in this class?


    Part 2, Class Participation and Evaluation:

    Please provide a 1-page maximum analysis and evaluation of your participation in class. Consider some of the following: Do you believe you contributed meaningfully to general class discussions? In what ways? How would you evaluate your skills learned in this class? Were you able to help others in class with skills you learned or had already mastered? Comment on your experience during our virtual class meeting. Comment on our use of Discussion Boards and chat rooms. Comment on weekly journaling.

    Part 5, Give yourself a Final Grade:

    This final part provides you with an opportunity to evaluate your overall class performance. On 1-page maximum, please give yourself a grade [using the point values] for each area of evaluation listed below (and as shown in the syllabus).

    How many unexcused absences did you have this semester? Your third unexcused absence automatically result in a grade of (D) You are responsible for bringing to the attention of your instructor any extenuating circumstances.

    How many times did you turn-in assignments after the due date. Late assignments are -1 point each (to a maximum of -10 points).

    Provide a brief rationale to justify your final grade -- indicate whether you think that your grade reflects what you learned in class. Justify your answer.

  • Two Book Reviews. This is the ONLY assessment (grade) given to you by the instructor. (Note from George: everyone's book reviews were excellent, assume that you earned the full 20 points.)
  • Mid-semester exam -- Class Presentation -- group project, topic of your choice.
  • Final Exam -- Class Presentation -- group project.
  • Participation -- attendance and contributions to in-class activities. This includes redCap -- written assignments posted to our list server, discussion board, field trips, journals, and virtual class meetings.
  • Timely completion of assignments. You cannot receive an "A" in this class unless assignments are completed on or before due dates and times. Everyone's learning depends on your completing assignments. This includes our (almost weekly) written assignments that will be eMailed to redCap or posted on our Discussion Board.
