Agreed, that's something I don't need.

And then some. :)


Hey, hoping I can get some feedback regarding an in-class review presentation rubric.

Spoiler:

Last semester, I used this rubric:
Preparation 0-20
Accuracy 0-20
Comprehensiveness 0-20
Clarity 0-20
Creativity 0-20
For a total grade for the group between 0 and 99.

I'm playing with the following revision:
Knowledgeable/Accurate 0-20
Explained 0-20
Covered Material 0-20
Clear 0-20
Engaging/Creative 0-20
For a total grade for the group between 0 and 99.

Thoughts?

Ummm, I'm not sure knowledgeable and accurate are the samething. What subject matter does this pertain to?

To be honest buddy, I didn't even understand what you were showing me. Solnes did though. She said as a student she prefers the first one, but both look decent to her. Have you thought about maybe combining the two?


Well, some elements of two are just one reworked. What does Solnes prefer about the old one?

I started to make knowledgeable and accurate two different categories, but in the end, they both boil down to: did you get the material correct?


You should add Wiki-fu 0-10

I think she, from a students point of view, felt the first example was easier to interpret. From that she would know exactly what the teacher was searching for.


I tell my students they are welcome to start their research with Wikipedia, but never use it as an academic source. Never mind that some of it articles are better than the crap spouted by some of my colleagues...

Whoops, did I just say that?

I must have dumb students. I thought the first one was simpler, but they seem to not get it.

Wiki makes a great starting point for research. But hell even Solnes couldn't use it as a reference source for any of her classes. Since she had to include her references with each assignment she turned in, she tended to avoid telling them that she used it. She always followed it up with more reliable sources though.

Don't forget to back up your recordings. The Green One is a tricksy one, his intellect is great and he holds power over the forces of nature.

I think that that's the appropriate way to use it. It's a great start, but ideally it leads one to other, more thorough sources.

Mairkurion, I think the second rubric may produce better results, primarily because it adds the "explained" category to encourage students to give more analysis to their points, and removes "preparation", which would largely reveal itself in the other categories anyway. My 2cp.


How about:
Knowledgeable/Accurate
Quality of Communication
Covers Material
Organized
Engaging /Creative

Damn, I want five separate, equally important categories that are clear and not open to misunderstanding.

Making a living off dealing with the public, I can honestly say that ANY categories are open to misunderstanding. Instead of 'quality of communication' how about 'good grammar?'

Yeah, I replaced Clear or Clarity with QoC. I can't put both: the columns are already stretched to the limits.


Good night, Thing.


Yeah, I'm outta here as well. Wife'll be home in a few, and that alarm clock goes off at 445 am. Cya!

We're not assessing their written work (except to the extent they have slides, handouts, etc), just their overall presentation, which is largely oral.

I wasn't thinking separate categories. I was thinking of combining the two. Unless you mean the columns won't fit the actual number of letters if you use both. :)

Professor? Are you ready for my oral presentation yet, or should I wait under the desk?
