Barring any content, spelling, or grammatical errors, students are eligible for a 100 if all discussion requirements are met.
If students fail to comment on a classmate’s post, the highest grade for which the student is eligible is 79/C, as long as the response addressed the question in full.
If the student completes the original post and comments on a classmate’s post but does not meet the required length, then the student is eligible for a B (89-80).
Students that only respond to the initial question in fewer than 250 words without commenting on a classmate’s post are eligible for partial credit- D (69-60).
Responding to the original prompt in a few sentences, without responding to a classmate’s post will result in a grade of F (59 or below).
