participation+rubric

//Participation accounts for 15% of the mark in CCT460 – higher than is usually the case in most CCIT courses. This evaluation is divided into two components: Attendance & class participation and discussion post activity related to the two major assignments. All the discussions we've had about open source development being communal is not just rhetoric, as is the case in the development community – you will be awarded for contributing to our collaborative, learning environment.// //Some additional context on the expectations for both of these evaluations://


 * Attendance – 8% of final mark**


 * Strong (7-8):** Student present for 85-90% of class sessions and consistently has valuable input for the group discussion. Bonus marks will be awarded for consistently assisting peers during lab sessions.
 * Adequate (5.5-6.5):** Student present for 75-80% of lab sessions and/or does not volunteer input in class.
 * Needs Improvement (0-5.5):** Student absent for more than 25% of class sessions. //Excessive absence (>33% of class sessions will relate in an automatic failing grade for attendance)//


 * Final project wiki progress reports – 7% of final mark**

From reading week onwards students will undertake a self-directed design project that will require a steady and focused work ethic. To encourage experimentation and knowledge sharing while moving towards this final goal, students will be evaluated on logging a 'progress report' (or reports) sometime during the month of March that is far enough away from the final (March 29th) deadline that it will be useful to your peers. This report will be 'filed' as individual wiki page where you either:


 * outline a technical issue you encountered and detail how you solved it (or bypassed it via an easier workaround)
 * provide a brief tutorial on a workflow you've set up (e.g. a view, some CSS3 animations)
 * document your work in progress in a way that would be beneficial to the group.

Each page should be at least 400-600 words and should incorporate screen captures where appropriate. The primary goal of this exercise is to provide reference material for the class, so marks will be awarded for clarity, utility (is the topic relevant?) and organization. You will be marked based off whatever link you've posted to the student reference & troubleshooting directory page on March 22nd at 1PM and you will receive a 0 if you have not completed this task for then. **FYI – This must be posted to the course wiki and not some other wikispaces site.**
