  • Directions for moderators/graders:
  • 1. Download form and make 34 copies (one set for you and one for your partner).
    2. Evaluate posts from each of your moderating periods separately. USE PENCIL.
    3. Arrange to meet with your co-moderator to synthesize your grades. Prepare one final sheet (using one of the two you each have produced for each student). Make these changes permanent by marking them in ink.
    4. Turn the final grade sheet to me (part of your grade will be for properly and promptly completing this evaluation, so I must see them first. I will distribute them to students the following week).
