Evaluation
For the evaluation of this assignment you will receieve ten points for every completed part of the assignment.
These points can be used for something new and special that I'm introducing to the class. For this assignment I am trusting that you all will wor hard and really work through the WebQuest to the best of your abilities.
Students can receive a grade of a 3 which means that you as the student completed the assignment to the best of your ability. A 2 means that the student received the information and they understood parts, but they still need a little more practice. The lowest grade would be a 1. This means that the student did not complete the assignment at all or less than 85% of the correct answers are given and the student did not take away much from this activity.
There will also be a quiz on this topic very soon, so macke sure that you ave done your absolute best!
