Assessment/Grading of Hypothes.is Annotations

31285
The following is adapted from W. Ian O’Bryne
 
As you do your Hypothes.is annotations they should reflect your comprehension, inference, and depth/breadth of your interaction with the text.
 
Your responses should indicate that you have located important and key passages in the text.
They can be in the form of questions, reactions and analysis, connections within the text and with other sources or experiences, and/or challenges of an author’s bias or assumptions. You may express opinions but these should be backed up by evidence. Please keep in mind that you may not be able to always hit the 4. An average no less than three for all annotations will put you in the B range on the grading scheme.
 
Your hypothes.is annotations will be graded on a five-point scale (0 to 4) similar to the Sample Scale used to grade other assignments.
