CLEANED Assignment: Create a Knowledgebase Instead of Quizzes or Tests

KB Requirements Knowledgebase – . Rather than give you quizzes or tests in this class, I want you to create a knowledgebase. This it is a far more effective way not only for me to measure what you are learning, but for you to absorb the material in a way that you are much more likely to recall it in the future. You will be required to submit your knowledgebase (KB) twice throughout this course that answers all of the questions detailed below.

KB Rules:

  1. Please use the KB requirements. They are located in the module assignments as well as in the course resources. Please organize your KB as follows:
    • Please include:
      • The Module Number
      • The question number
      • The question
      • Your answer
  2. Each module’s KB should be a minimum of 3 double-spaced pages. (PLEASE USE NO LARGER THAN A 12 POINT FONT) and margins no larger than 1 inch wide. Graphics should not be included in the page length.
  3. You must incorporate cited resources for each question into your KB (can use the text, the module resources, or qualified internet sources). Feel free to incorporate a quote or cut and paste information into your KB, but ensure that sources are properly quoted, cited, and vetted. Quoted sources need credentials qualifying them as experts. Forum, blog, vlog posts require authorship from recognized experts based on education or designation.
  4. While additional internet sources are encouraged, your answer should primarily reflect your own understanding and learning. Use quoted resources as a foundation but ensure your KB demonstrates your comprehension and ability to articulate the concepts in your own words.
  5. Grading Rubric:
    • Total adherence to KB Rules – 10%
    • Explanation of the concepts – 40% of total grade
    • Conveying your understanding of how to use the concepts – 50% of total grade
  6. For example, if asked about the difference between a stated rate and effective rate, your response should include detailed explanations and applications, indicating understanding of when and why each concept matters.
