Scorecards

Here's how to do it:



For example:

"Joe" came to class on the first day ("inning" 1), posted a brief introduction before coming to class #2 (thus getting to 2d base), came to class #3 after posting a comment about William James's "Pragmatism" as well as an alternate quiz question and a discussion question  (thus getting to 2d base, 3d base, and home to score his first daily participation run of the semester). He came to class #4 after posting two comments in reply to classmates and a link to an article on peripatetic philosophy he found online. His 4th inning run brings his semester total to 2 runs, noted in the middle of the diamond. On Day 5 he came to class after posting just two things: so, no runs today. In the 6th inning Joe came to class and turned on the computer/projector and loaded the CoPhi site, after having posted two things: so, he's now scored his 3d run (noted in the diamond). He only made it to 3d on Day 7. Before coming to class on Day 8 he posts 7 things, noting several extra bases in the lower right.

And I leave it to you to interpret Val's scorecard entries.

Always keep track of how many comments (etc.) you've posted to our site since last class, each earns you a BASE in addition to the one you get just for showing up (but you have to show up to claim any at all). Four BASES per class earns you a daily participation RUN.* You'll record all that on the daily Scorecard. 

*NOTE: Extra BASES do not roll over to next class, just as base-runners stranded in one inning of a ballgame don't get to score in the next. But you'll still want the scorecard to reflect your extra effort.
