Hello Team,
I am new adjunct faculty still going through the onboarding training. I can't seem to get over the hump of the "Marking Substantial Posts" practice and final quiz. I don't know what I am missing. I could use any advice.

Humphrey, Check your policy for your courses. I teach graduate courses, and students must participate 3 X a week for three varied days. They can't log on and respond to 3 peers on the same day; only one will count. And the new LMS changes will show that. (again, this is for my grad courses). They can respond to three peers, and I encourage more participation, but only one will count for that day.
I offer in my announcement my requirements. Posts must be 75 words or more to be substantive (participation posts to peers), excluding perfunctory statements like "Your post was the best; I loved it so much." Substantive means the response needs to be substantive. These are graded on a 20-point scale.
I state that the responses to the DB1 and DB2 each week have to be 100 words or more (answers to the questions), and my courses have at least one support following APA guidelines because my courses are graduate courses. These are graded on a 5-point scale.
THE LMS for my course does not specify word count, so I add that requirement to my course announcements.
I do not have any practice quizzes in my courses. Still, some of my classes have an examination, and depending on the student's issue, I have reassigned it (I allow it once) so they can take it over, but the quiz usually grades itself. (automated). However, that is how it is in my course. I tell my students they need to take the examination in an uninterrupted place and that usually, they have 5 hours.
I hope some of that helps. Look at your handbook (faculty) on grading for the courses you teach.

Humphrey, I may have misunderstood your question. Were you asking about your quiz?-Mirta
Yes, are there examples somewhere that I can use as guide because the workshop those not provide any of that information
I will send you a zoom link. Mirta
