Discussion Rubric Critical Thinking Participation: Generating Learning within the community Grammar and Mechanics Late posts in the threaded discussion greatly diminish the dialogue of class discussions and add little to the community of inquiry if they are posted well after other students are contributing. Therefore, the penalty for late discussion posts can be up to 25% off of your grade.
