Blog Prompt for Week 9: Assignments and Grading

Here are this week's discussion questions. In response to feedback from the midterm course evaluation, I've made the first one less specific than usual, to give you more freedom in what you can write about.

1. What did you find most interesting or most useful in this week's reading? Why?

2. How could you apply what you learned this week to the construction of assignments and/or grading policy in your final project? Please give specific examples.

Commenters: Remember that your main goal should be to add something new to the conversation. Make sure to read both the entry and the other comments carefully.
