Course 10 Grade 3 — Problems, Plans, and Practice
Version: 1.0 public self-study edition — October 12, 2026 Status: Free public, supervised, noncredit curriculum; not approved for enrollment, school credit, diploma, credential, licensure, placement, or funding claims.
Promise and boundary
I can define a problem, use reliable information, make a testable plan, learn from failure, and explain my correction. Learners use fictional, public, or minimum-necessary information in supervised simulations. The course does not authorize live accounts, public contact, protected records, real-person decisions, regulated work, purchases, or financial advice.
Humanization is the parent doctrine. A solution must serve people with dignity, agency, truth, safety, privacy/security, accessibility, authorship, and human accountability. AI may assist a bounded task only when disclosed and checked; it is not the author, conscience, or decision-maker.
Portfolio and rhythm
The learner produces a learner profile, problem/symptom brief, source/evidence record, plan and success criteria, search/tool-fit record, prototype, test/failure record, team-repair log, consent/copyright/privacy map, cost/waste/value model, evidence presentation, and community-problem capstone. Each unit follows Learn → Practice → Prove → Use → Advance.
Twelve-unit sequence
Unit 1 — My Learner Profile
Learn: interest, strength, practiced skill, support, goal, and human worth differ. Practice: sort fictional learning statements without ranking people. Prove: make a safe learner profile using chosen, non-sensitive details. Use: explain one skill to practice without an identity promise. Advance: select a small practice task.
Unit 2 — Problem versus Symptom
Learn: problem, symptom, cause, effect, request, and assumption differ. Practice: turn a fictional complaint into a clarifying question. Prove: create a problem brief with affected users, unknowns, and scope. Use: separate what was observed from what was guessed. Advance: identify a safe source or observation route.
Unit 3 — Source, Evidence, Opinion, and Inference
Learn: source, evidence, opinion, inference, date, and limit matter. Practice: compare fictional/public sources and label claim strength. Prove: make a source/evidence record with citation and noncoverage. Use: correct a statement that sounds more certain than the evidence. Advance: write one confirm-or-correct question.
Unit 4 — Goal, Constraints, Steps, and Success Criteria
Learn: goal, constraint, step, milestone, test, and success criterion. Practice: turn a need into three observable success criteria. Prove: submit a dated plan with roles, risks, support, and stop rule. Use: test a plan against a fictional change. Advance: choose the smallest next step.
Unit 5 — Digital Search and Tool Fit
Learn: search question, source quality, tool fit, permission, and review. Practice: choose between a person, book, public page, drawing, or tool for a fictional task. Prove: create a search/tool-fit record with no private data. Use: explain why a tool is not always the best answer. Advance: record an offline alternative.
Unit 6 — Prototype a Solution
Learn: prototype, audience, requirement, material, instruction, and limitation. Practice: sketch a low-risk model and predict two failure cases. Prove: make version one with sources, authorship/support disclosure, and intended use. Use: demonstrate it in a fictional or approved safe setting. Advance: choose one revision from evidence.
Unit 7 — Test Ordinary and Failure Cases
Learn: test case, expected result, actual result, error, repair, and retest. Practice: test a fictional model in ordinary and failure situations. Prove: submit a dated test/failure record with correction and remaining limit. Use: explain what failed without blaming a person. Advance: run the next test or stop safely.
Unit 8 — Team Norms and Conflict Repair
Learn: role, agreement, feedback, disagreement, repair, and handoff. Practice: role-play a missed task and respectful repair. Prove: create a team/repair record with owner, date, and next action. Use: adapt a message to a school or simulated team. Advance: identify the next checkpoint.
Unit 9 — Consent, Copyright Basics, and Personal Information
Learn: permission, consent, copyright, attribution, personal information, and stop. Practice: classify scenarios as proceed, ask, pause, escalate, or stop. Prove: complete a consent/copyright/privacy map with an accessible alternative. Use: explain one protective choice in plain language. Advance: write a hold statement for uncertainty.
Unit 10 — Cost, Waste, Reuse, and Value
Learn: cost, waste, reuse, value, estimate, tradeoff, and claim limit. Practice: compare fictional materials and time without private finances. Prove: make a dated cost/waste/value model with assumptions and unknowns. Use: rewrite an exaggerated benefit claim. Advance: identify the authorized source for a missing term.
Unit 11 — Short Evidence Presentation
Learn: audience, evidence, explanation, limit, feedback, and transfer. Practice: rehearse a two-minute explanation in own words. Prove: present the problem, source, prototype, test, correction, and limit. Use: apply the method to a new low-risk case. Advance: record one evidence gap and practice task.
Unit 12 — Community Problem Capstone
Learn: service, continuity, consent, access, correction, and next step. Practice: audit the full evidence packet. Prove: build and test a model that addresses a fictional/public or approved low-risk school/community problem. Use: defend one choice to proceed, revise, or stop. Advance: create a 30-day practice plan with owner, support, risk, and alternate route.
Completion rule
Completion requires twelve evidence items or approved accessible equivalents, facilitator review, correction, disclosed assistance, independent explanation or transfer, and all noncompensable gates. Safe wording: “The learner completed the noncredit DTU course and demonstrated the listed tasks at the documented support level.”

Assessment and accessibility
Use the task-level 0–4 scale: not yet shown; direct help; limited help; independently here; transfers and helps. Never score intelligence, dignity, character, accent, disability, family, immigration, trauma, or future potential. Offer oral, written, visual, demonstrated, translated, captioned, large-print, keyboard, extra-time, offline, and assistive-technology routes when they preserve the target. Require correction and retest.
Pause and escalate for unsafe work, missing authority/consent, protected data, inaccessible evidence without an alternative, discrimination/harassment, false claims, undisclosed material assistance, real-person profiling/decision, public contact, account creation, purchase pressure, live regulated activity, or unsafe tool failure.
Closeout
Confirm twelve evidence items or accessible equivalents, source/date/limits, correction, assistance disclosure, independent explanation, noncompensable gates, next owner/date/source, alternate route, and human escalation. Safe wording: “The learner completed the noncredit DTU course and demonstrated the listed tasks at the documented support level.”

Course 10 Grade 3 — Community Problem Capstone Rubric
Brief
In a supervised fictional, public-data, or low-risk simulation, the learner defines a problem, distinguishes evidence from inference, builds and tests a model, documents correction, protects privacy and authorship, communicates a handoff, and explains limits. No protected records, live accounts, real-person profiling, public contact, purchases, financial advice, regulated work, or unsupported outcomes.
Evidence packet
- learner profile; 2. problem/symptom brief; 3. source/evidence record; 4. plan/success criteria; 5. search/tool-fit record; 6. prototype v1; 7. test/failure record; 8. team/repair record; 9. consent/copyright/privacy map; 10. cost/waste/value model; 11. evidence presentation; 12. capstone and 30-day plan.
Rubric
| Dimension | 0 Not shown | 1 Direct help | 2 Limited help | 3 Independent here | 4 Transfers and helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Problem and scope | absent or assumed | identifies with rescue | records some limits | separates problem/symptom and scope | adapts to a new case |
| Source and evidence | unsupported claim | checks after intervention | records some limits | cites, dates, qualifies | spots new inference |
| Plan and prototype | no usable plan | follows model with help | meets some criteria | bounded build and test | transfers method |
| Testing and correction | hides failure | repairs after prompt | records some results | tests ordinary/failure cases | predicts new defect |
| Consent/privacy/authorship | unsafe or copied | stops after prompt | follows map with help | uses minimum data and attribution | predicts new risk |
| Team communication | no handoff | uses script with help | mostly clear | respectful repair/owner/date | supports another repair |
| Cost/waste/value | promise or pressure | repeats model | labels assumptions | dated model with limits | corrects a new claim |
| Presentation/transfer | cannot explain | explains after prompts | explains core evidence | own-words defense and transfer | teaches a new case |
Holds
False claim; human-worth judgment; missing consent/authority; unsafe or regulated activity; unnecessary protected data; inaccessible evidence without alternative; discrimination/harassment; undisclosed material assistance/copied authorship; real-person profiling/decision; financial advice; public contact/posting; account or purchase action; or refusal to pause, correct, escalate, or retire.
Safe wording: “The learner completed the noncredit DTU course and demonstrated the listed tasks at the documented support level.”
