Dear Class,
Welcome
to Lesson 1. You made it through the Introduction Lesson! I will grade
your Intro lesson material by this Saturday evening. You do have several
assignments due by Saturday night, but the one worth the most points is
the Academic Skills Portfolio. Here is the rubric for the assignment:
Grading criteria for 'Academic Skills Portfolio'
| Max Score | Description |
|---|---|
| 10 | The portfolio includes four accurate PTIC analyses. Each analysis includes these elements: author, author credential, title, purpose, topic, issue, and conclusion. |
| 5 | The portfolio includes 15 issue questions inferred from assigned class readings. |
| 10 | The portfolio includes a paraphrase of a 150-word passage from one of the assigned class readings. The paraphrase accurately translates the original passage into the writer’s own language. |
| 5 | The portfolio includes a 250-word summary of a substantive essay assigned for class. |
| 5 | The summary begins with a statement of the author’s main point and accurately reflects the content of the original essay. |
| 5 | The summary is coherent. It clarifies relationships among key points and is not merely a list of ideas. |
| 5 | The summary is technically correct. It is objective, cast in the present tense, and well edited. |
| 5 | The portfolio’s format and presentation are appropriate for college work (typed with standard margins, fonts, double spaced, etc.) and adheres to APA paper formatting. The portfolio has virtually no errors in the conventions of standard edited English (spelling, punctuation, grammar). |
| Total: 50 |
| Category: | Include |
Please watch this video I created to help you navigate successfully through Lesson 1. Additionally, I created this video
to show you how I grade Academic Skills Portfolios using the rubric. I
have attached the Academic Skills Portfolio sample essay from the video
below. I promise that watching these videos will be well worth your
time; I hope they will help you complete lesson content and get a great
score on your Academic Skills Portfolio. Just picture the content in my
"Notes From Sister Bowen", along with my emails and announcements, as my
"lecture at the front of the class" time. I look forward to helping you
and cheering you on every step of the way.
Good
luck, and have faith that you can do a great job on the Academic Skills
Portfolio! Please check the course schedule to make sure you have done
everything required before checking out for the weekend.
Love,
Sister Bowen
