In addition to developing students technical and academic skills, BFIT is committed to promoting professionalism within
our learning environment. Professionalism encompasses many elements, and includes active, engaged participation in the
academic experience, and therefore is an integral part of the grade for this course. To be an active, consistent participant,
a student must be present-attending each class, on time. Attendance factors into the professionalism grade. Other factors
include accountability; time management; teamwork; preparedness; respectful, ethical behavior, and presentation of work
and self.
You're used to this by now: you did this for weeks 1-5, now it's time to evaluate your
professionalism for weeks 6-10. Remember that I count our class Discussion posts as a
way to look at "working in groups" and/or Participation. (Participation is also the contact
you and I have via email or comments on posts, etc.)
Look closely at the BFIT Professionalism Rubric.pdf
Write a brief document (with a standard MLA format heading) stating how you believe
you performed in each of the 6 categories as listed on the professionalism rubric (Time
Management, Participation, Accountability, Work Groups, Conduct).
Note that these rubrics were written for in-person classes. Please address how you think
your interactions in an online-only course can still meet these requirements. (You can
add this as a separate paragraph at the end or include it in your answers for each of the
6 categories as they come up.)
