My student just invented the word “squirmish” in place of “squeamish,” and honestly, I think it’s about 10 times better…

Nhiều học sinh đạt điểm cao (9-10), nhưng một cô giáo ở Gia Lai chủ động chỉnh điểm xuống. Lý do? Để học sinh không chủ quan, tự mãn mà tiếp tục nỗ lực học tập. Cô Trịnh Thị Kim Nga (Trường TH Nguyễn Văn Cừ) tin rằng điều này giúp các em duy trì ý thức phấn đấu lâu dài.

Grading a great student project is easy. Grading a truly awful one is also easy. The problems come with the projects with a mix of good and terrible and maybe-terrible-or-maybe-typo that is hard to gauge. Is this mess over here because they didn't understand the concepts or because they just made a minor goof (edit: or because they cheated)? I spend 10x longer on those than other projects.
I need a term. Maybe "shitshow-liminal" or something.

There's only so much baking avoidance that one batch of papers can justify, even if they are the long research papers of the year
But the popovers were lovely, thanks for asking
Today is the first day of the rest of…
What? A batch of papers to mark?
Today is a good day to … learn something new

#Diamond #Grading is a standardized method, primarily utilizing the 4 Cs—Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat weight—to assess and communicate the quality and value of a diamond.
This meticulous evaluation process is performed by gemological laboratories, like GIA, to provide buyers with an objective report of the stone's characteristics.

The day is over and I'm drained. We had to change tires today, the middle child had #grading at #TaeKwonDo (leveled up), there was a piano lesson as well, and 2/3 kids went to shops in two different shopping centers.
Getting them home was 2 bonus tasks.
We were so short on time that we did not change drivers. I was supposed to drive but I ended up making half of the dinner.
3 more hours until my bed time..
Older child pushed past us another day of no chores.

"AI – the ultimate bullshit machine – can produce a better 5PE than any student can, because the point of the 5PE isn't to be intellectually curious or rigorous, it's to produce a standardized output that can be analyzed using a standardized rubric.
I've been writing YA novels and doing school visits for long enough to cement my understanding that kids are actually pretty darned clever. They don't graduate from high school thinking that their mastery of the 5PE is in any way good or useful, or that they're learning about literature by making five marginal observations per page when they read a book.
Given all this, why wouldn't you ask an AI to do your homework? That homework is already the revenge of Goodhart's Law, a target that has ruined its metric. Your homework performance says nothing useful about your mastery of the subject, so why not let the AI write it. Hell, if you're a smart, motivated kid, then letting the AI write your bullshit 5PEs might give you time to write something good.
Teachers aren't to blame here. They have to teach to the test, or they will fail their students (literally, because they will have to assign a failing grade to them, and figuratively, because a student who gets a failing grade will face all kinds of punishments). Teachers' unions – who consistently fight against standardization and in favor of their members discretion to practice their educational skills based on kids' individual needs – are the best hope we have:"

Has anyone played around with encouraging (but not requiring) students to teach one another?
One way of demonstrating mastery of the material is teaching it to others. I feel like if student A says "Student B really helped me understand the material" that increases my Bayesian posterior that student B understood the material really well (and also that student A understood it, since presumably after student B explained it, student A understood it at least better than they did before).
I wouldn't do this as the only, or even major, part of their grade, but it seems like if the grade is to reflect learning, that teaching it to others certainly reflects on their learning.
(Additional context: this is for a university-level elective technical course in Comp Sci, for 3rd and 4th-years mostly. I generally do flipped classroom and alternative grading - some combo of ungrading, mastery-based, standards-based, but I'm open to ideas. The class has about 55 students, so whatever it is can take some time but not be *too* time-intensive on me & the one TA.)

Anyone else hate #reading or #grading loooong, generic, or unconvincing essays? In case it's not just me:
I've been refining a 3-paragraph essay assignment for years. In this post I explain it and what I like about it.
Feel free to adapt it!
