Evaluate your post, using the Writing Self-Evaluation Rubric, linked in the Resources. In the rubric, review the different levels of achievement that are possible for each criterion. Place an “X” in the level of achievement you believe your discussion post has attained. The very last column on the right provides space for you to leave notes about the criterion.
