"This Is The End"... (Thanks Jim Morrison)

No more classes... Only the Rubric Assignment, finalize the Unit Portfolio and compose the two page blog entry. This has been a tough course - all the more so as I thought it would be my easiest. Chalk that up to perceptions...

I do not like the seemingly accepted/presented style of rubrics. I think in more linear, one dimensional terms, although, I understand what Dr. Wang was saying: i.e rubrics must be, at minimum, two-dimensional. I would very much like to see students' thoughts on this type of evaluation...

Nevertheless, the importance of definitive and straightforward evaluation guidelines can not be dismissed. They are a necessary part of educational life. New to me, but that is not saying much as I am an older student and evaluation methods have changed significantly since I was in a pre-collegiate environment and in an unconventional educational setting (Alabama School of Fine Arts in its early years).

I am hungry and must eat now...
