  Week-2  

 

Self-grading for assignment #2 (The 2nd happiness exercise–expressing gratitude)

1.  Since there isn’t a direct way by which you can give yourself a score between 1 and 10 for the self-graded assignment #2 (expressing gratitude exercise), we have designed this rather roundabout way of doing so.

Below, you will find a list of 10 “questions” and two options for each question. Please check the 1st of these two options if you want to give yourself 1 point. You will get as many points as the number of 1st options you check.

So, if you believe that you deserve to get a score of 7 (out of 10) for this assignment, check the 1st option for 7 of the 10 questions below, and select the 2nd option for 3 of them.

 

Note that, whenever you check the 2nd option, you will receive feedback that your response was “incorrect.” Ignore this feedback. Like we said earlier, since there aren’t any options on Coursera (yet!) for self-grading, we had to invent this rather roundabout way of doing it!

 Here’s how you would arrive at the score you deserve for this exercise: The exercise can be thought to consist of 3 main components:

i.  Writing the letter of gratitude

ii.  Expressing the gratitude (i.e., emailing it, conveying it over phone or face-to-face), and

iii.  Recording how one felt as a result

If you completed the 1st component, give yourself 5 points.

If you completed the 2nd component, give yourself another 3 points.

If you completed the 3rd component (even if you only did it on the discussion forum), 

give yourself another 2 points.

Final and very important note: You will need to check at least one of the 10 options for you to “pass” this assignment and continue with the course. So, even if you haven’t started this exercise (and don’t intend to complete it), give yourself a score of at least 1 point (or 10%) by checking the 1st option for one of the 10 questions.

 

Thanks, and if you happen to have any questions, please post them on the “assignments” link under the discussion forum.

Self-grading for assignment #7: Presence practice

Question 1

Since there isn't a direct way by which you can give yourself a score between 1 and 10 for the self-graded assignment #2 (expressing gratitude exercise), we have designed this rather roundabout way of doing so.

Below, you will find a list of 3 "questions" and two options for each question. Please check the 1st of these three options if you want to give yourself 3.33 points. You will get as many points as the number of 1st options you check.

So, if you believe that you deserve to get a score of 6.67 (out of 10) for this assignment, check the 1st option for 2 of the 3 questions below, and select the 2nd option for the last question.

Note that, whenever you check the 2nd option, you will receive feedback that your response was "incorrect." Ignore this feedback. Like we said earlier, since there aren't any options on Coursera (yet!) for self-grading, we had to invent this rather roundabout way of doing it!

Here's how you would arrive at the score you deserve for this exercise:

If you simply watched the "presence practice" video (Week 6 Video 10) from start to finish, but made no attempt to follow the instructions, give yourself 6.67 points.

If you watched the "presence practice" video (Week 6 Video 10) from start to finish, and followed the instructions (at least partially), given yourself 10 points.

Final and very important note: You will need to check at least one of the 3 options below for you to "pass" this assignment and continue with the course. So, even if you haven't started this exercise (and don't intend to complete it), give yourself a score of 3.33 points by checking one of the 2 boxes.

Thanks, and if you happen to have any questions, please post them on the "assignments" link under the discussion forum.
