Grading
You will all be graded in three areas. The areas are Activity, International Relations/Conflict Resolution and depth in your project/pages.

Activity
Ideally to get a 100% on online activity you should be online for about 15 minutes every other day. Also there should be at least one person from your group online each day. Activity is also being attentive in class and at school. Activity is 35% of your grade. Also, the more edits you have the better.

International relations and conflict resolution
The international relations portion of your grade is very important. This proves that you know what you are talking about and you can resolve a conflict with negotiation instead of firearms (Guys). This is 25% of your grade.

Project/Page depth
The Project and Page depth show how much you know about government and civics and how much you have learned. It is also an indicator of how much you are paying attention. This is 40% of your grade.
