Example 

Adapted from CLS 3300: Class, Race and Gender by Dr. Lani Cupchoy 

Dr. Cupchoy uses a Canvas Discussion and a Practice Quiz for students to check-in on their progress in an ongoing group project, in this case, a presentation and a cultural product. 

In a Canvas Discussion open to all students  

One member of the group posts a progress report on behalf of the group, listing all member names and work that has taken place in two required paragraphs:  

  • Paragraph 1 

    1. Discuss specific roles/responsibilities for each member regarding the presentation. 

    1. Add a progress report on the cultural product. 

  • Paragraph 2 

    1. Discuss any challenges the group is working through (i.e., scheduling, collaborating, discussion on which slides to include in presentation, etc.) 

    1. Include a discussion of next steps or things people are working on for next week. 

In a Practice Quiz where the faculty only reviews the responses, ask two essay questions: 

  1. State your individual contribution to the group project this week. Address any specific MLO that you are working on for the presentation. Below is a list of pertinent MLOs: [MLOs listed] 

  1. Are there any challenges or concerns you have about this project?
