What makes a good post? (How you will get a good grade)

[Mr. Xu]

What makes a good post?

Posting is how we will be communicating to each other online.

These are the items I look for in a good post (these apply everywhere in the forum):

• Longer than one line. No one liners
• Can be read easily. (If Mr. Xu has to bring out his hieroglyphics translator you probably should edit your post)
• Follows all rules of netiquitte

I will be grading each post (in classroom activities and homework) with the following format:

5 points

• Post is full and descriptive. Delivers a proper message to the reader
• Proper grammar is used. Sentence structure is in proper format.
• Post is on topic and not derailing
• All manners of Netiquitte is followed

4 points
