Preferred blogging rubric?

At the end of class today I mentioned looking at different blogging rubric and getting your feedback about which, if any, you thought might be helpful in spurring you to write thorough posts and comments. Please check these out briefly this week and next week we can talk about which ones you liked and thought might be good.

• UW-Stout – A Rubric for Evaluating Student Blogs
• Professor Christopher Long, Penn State Univ. – Blogging Scoring Rubric
• Tim Horgan – Blogging Rubric

...and because it's easy enough to copy and past below, Professor Mark Sample (Davidson College) has a very simple rubric. Take a look at it below:

Rating	Characteristics
4	Exceptional. The blog post is focused and coherently integrates examples with explanations or analysis. The post demonstrates awareness of its own limitations or implications, and it considers multiple perspectives when appropriate. The entry reflects in-depth engagement with the topic.
3	Satisfactory. The blog post is reasonably focused, and explanations or analysis are mostly based on examples or other evidence. Fewer connections are made between ideas, and though new insights are offered, they are not fully developed. The post reflects moderate engagement with the topic.
2	Underdeveloped. The blog post is mostly description or summary, without consideration of alternative perspectives, and few connections are made between ideas. The post reflects passing engagement with the topic.
1	Limited. The blog post is unfocused, or simply rehashes previous comments, and displays no evidence of student engagement with the topic.
0	No Credit. The blog post is missing or consists of one or two disconnected sentences.
