Nomination requirements. Each nomination must include:
- the CATEGORY you are nominating someone for,
- the NAME of the person (first and last name please!), and
- a BLURB containing at least one sentence explaining WHY
this person deserves to win (this blurb will appear with the nomination).
Assignment requirements: IMPORTANT!
Please nominate at least four different web projects in at least four
different categories.
- How many web projects must I nominate? At least four web projects.
- May I submit nominations in more than four categories? Yes, but
only 4 categories are required.
- May I nominate several web projects in a single category? No; please
submit no more than one nomination for each category. Additional nominations
in a single category will be discarded for zero credit.
- May I nominate the same Web Project more than once in different categories?
Yes, but you still must nominate at least four different web projects. Therefore
you can submit the same Web Project in multiple categories, but then you will
need to submit a total of more than four nominations, so that you have nominated
at least four different web projects.
- Must I explain why I am nominating a Web Project for a particular category?
Yes; all nominations without blurbs will be discarded for zero credit.
- Send me
your nominations via email
Extra Credit: You can also get a point of extra credit if
you nominate your favorite Interpretation that another student did, for a "Best
Interpretation" assignment award. To do that, please send not only the
author and title of the interpretation, along with a blurb about it, but also
please include a LINK TO THE YUKU POST of your favorite
Interpretation essay. If you include a complete Interpretation nomination, you
will receive one point of extra credit.
LAST STEP:
Make your Desire2Learn declaration
After you are done with the assignment, go to Desire2Learn and make your gradebook
declaration (you will find the declaration in the Quizzes area at Desire2Learn).
This Desire2Learn gradebook declaration is governed by the Honor
