Promotion to Module 2
Learning Goals
Promoted students will demonstrate proficiency in the material covered in Module 1.
Projects
You will complete four projects throughout Module 1, each of which will be assessed according to a rubric. A passing project will “Meet Expectations” (per the rubric) for most categories. You must submit every project to be eligible for promotion.
- Week 1-2: Solo Project #1
- The Solo Project is evaluated, but does not count toward promotion
- Week 2-3: Solo Project #2
- Week 3-4: Paired Project
- You must pass EITHER the Paired Project OR Solo Project #2
- Week 5-6: Group Project
- You must pass the Final Project
- No rubric category can score Below Expectations
Assessments and Independent Challenges
You will complete two assessments and three weekly Independent Challenges in Module 1, each of which will be assesed on a scale of Below Expectations, Approaching Expectations, Meets Expectations, and Exceeds Expectations. Meets Expectations is considered a passing score.
Assessments
- Mid Module Assessment (aka “Mid Mod”)
- The Mid Mod is evaluated, but does not count toward promotion
- Final Independent Challenge (aka “Final IC”, Week 6)
In order to be promoted to Module 2:
- You must earn a Meets Expectations on the Week 6 Final IC to be promoted to Module 2. Students who do not will be offered a re-take.
Independent Challenges
- Independent Challenges (ICs)
- Week 3, Week 4 (optional), and Week 5
- The weekly IC’s are evaluated, but do not count toward promotion. They are practice for the final Week 6 IC.
