DRAFT pending student input.

1. Rubric to rate Project Based Learning Unit/ CTGE 59100 Final Project – Summer Session 2, 2008 Here is a draft of the assessment rubric I am developing to rate the final project with. Your suggestions, concerns, and questions are welcome and may influence the final form this rubric takes (use the comments function at the bottom for this). The final version will be posted before any rating on the final projects is done. Note that field 1. Presentation is weighted at 3 times the value of the others as this is the area our course has concentrated on in particular. The maximum total number of points that can be earned Is 32. As stated throughout the course, the final project will count for roughly 1/3 of the student’s final grade for the course.

2. Note: This 1 st area to be assessed is more complex than the others that follow. In this case, the blogging portions of course assignment #1 and #4 have been folded in.
