EDTEC 700: The Art of Oral and Written Communication

This is a multi-part tool for assessing the set of four documents that you and your colleagues produced for Week 1/EDTEC 700: The Art of Oral and Written Communication.

The tool is grounded in the communication principles we discussed in class -- and covered in your text (Handbook of Technical Writing). If you're not sure what an element "is" (represents), please review your text or notes before scoring.

Only I will see the "raw" scores you provide; like you, each of the collleagues you rate will receive aggregate scores (item and sections distributions; item and section means). Your individual confidentiality is assured.

Please submit all ratings no later than noon on Thursday, Sept. 21; that gives me time to complete the analyses and create (as well as forward) individual student reports.
