this is a replica of what is listed in each student's personal assignment checklist--do not try to submit assignments here

The checklist wikipage allows you to keep track of your own progress so that interaction with the instructor can focus on coaching you in the Collaborative Explorations.
Submit assignments and written participation items (b, c, e) by uploading or posting them where indicated* and then recording having done this in the relevant box below. (Optional: Insert the link to the actual posts.) Instructors will indicate in the row below if revisions to written assignments (B & C) are NOT required.

• * Journals/workbooks can be compiled in a file, on a wikipage linked to your personal checklist, or in hard copy [but students from a distance have to scan this so it can be reviewed]. Note: This is the only assignment or participation item that should be linked or uploaded to your personal checklist wikipage.
• * Before uploading files, rename them to indicate the course, your initials, the assignment number, and revision status, e.g., 630XYAsmtB1rev2Oct.doc.

Assessment to assign grades above B+ (to be completed at the end of the semester)
Use the following system to make your own self-assessment for each quality below

• * [= "fulfilled very well"],
• OK [= "did an OK job, but room for more development/attention"], or
• - [= "to be honest, this was not my strength in this course"]

If there are big discrepancies between the student's and the instructor's assessments, we should discuss the discrepancies and try to come to a shared agreement about them.

	student	instructor
	(optional)	(if different)
1. A sequence of assignments paced more or less as in syllabus (and revisions timely),	..........
2. often revised thoroughly and with new thinking in response to comments.
3. Projects innovative, well planned and carried out with considerable initiative, and
4. indicating that you will be able to move from learning to implementation/teaching in your specific situation.
5. Project products clear and well structured,
6. with supporting references and detail, and professionally presented.
7. Active contribution to and reflection on process of learning from CEs and session activities.
8. Active, prepared participation and building the learning community: in the live sessions,
9. and through comments & other between-session interactions.
10. Journal/workbook shows: Consistent work outside sessions,
11. and serious attention to practicing and developing personal creative thinking through writing, reflecting, and experimenting.
12. Deep final reflection on your development through the semester and map of the future directions in which you plan to develop.

Incompletes and Completions

1. Final date for late submissions & revisions for CEs 1, 2, 3 on submissions for which you have requested an extension = Last session. [The policy struck out applies for 2013, but not in future offerings.]

2. Final grade will be based on work submitted by the date for submission of grades.

3. Exceptions to the 1 & 2 require a completion contract to be submitted by the student and approved by the instructor by the last session. Use your assignment checklist to indicate (in red) contracted dates for specific assignments. Also indicate what you think you have completed. (Don't ask the instructors to provide you with the up-to-date assignment checklist.) We'll then compare that with our records and get back to you if we need to reconcile differences. Note: Participation in classes and office hour meetings cannot be made up after the end of classes.

4. If you don't get around to submitting a completion contract and haven't got up to a passing grade, the instructors may submit an incomplete anyway. We will, however, take into account additional submitted written assignments (and process review) only to get you up to a C. To improve on that grade, the course must be taken again when it is next offered.

5. Please don't expect instructors to work with you over the summer and winter breaks to complete your assignments. (We need you to respect that we have professional "incompletes" that we need to try to make up during these periods.) In other words, do what you can by the day when grades are due and then take a break from "dialogue around written work" until the new semester starts. Please write your completion contracts with this in mind. Even in the new semester, be patient because instructors have to give higher priority to responding to students from the current semester.

6. Please note that the desired learning rarely takes place during standard on-your-own incompletes, despite the best intentions of student and istructor. There is no substitute for the development of teaching/learning interactions that happens with peers and regular week-by-week sessions. Expect that comments made on work for incompletes will be brief.
