Discussion Grading Rubric Graded discussion periods are scheduled weekly, so please check the calendar to find out the due dates for each posting. They are moderated by your facilitator and are graded. Your facilitator may allow you to continue to post after that time but it will not be monitored and those additional postings will not count toward your discussion grade. You’re certainly welcome to continue a discussion past the grading period, but that additional posted material will not affect your discussion grade. The discussion grading rubric below is the guide we use to evaluate your discussion contributions. You will receive a grade and feedback for each of the chapter threads. There are also general discussions boards, which are not graded, for you to use to discuss any topics with your classmates and facilitators. Please refer to the discussion rubric and netiquette pages before you participate.
