This course has an electronic blog. Participation on TWEN is integral part of this class.  Any questions about the course should be posted under administration. TWEN grade will be based on whether your postings tended to:
  •  identify important points,
  • clarify difficult concepts, and
  •  generally try to facilitate each others understanding.

You should also post information or news about professional responsibility, particular diversity issues in criminal law.

 

General Guidelines
(Subject to modification without notice)

  1.  Writing a post includes posting an original post and/or responding to one.  Responding to a post counts as much as posting an original one.
  2. The post must be substantial. Superficial, agree or disagree post or discounted or not counted at all. I will delete post that appear duplicate and superficial.
  3. You earn points for reading a post, but the number of points count as a lower percentage of the total score than if you write or respond to a post
  4. TWEN activity is always evaluated in the week of assignment.  So, for example, the only TWEN activity that will count in an upcoming week will be that which occurs in that week.  And, to a lesser value, in the In The News Section. except if a conversation continues to be active those conversations will be counted. Specifically, back reading old post will not count.
  5. Posting, responding, and reading posts in the In The News section always counts less than activity in the section currently assigned.
  6. Quantity counts, that is, of the students who are posting similar quality posting, the person with the most postings and who has read the most will get a higher raw score.
