Re: [Phys-l] teaching physics conceptually



When book production was the work of amanuenses,
the initial capitals, introductions and directions were often illuminated
in ruby red - the source of this word.

From Wikipedia:

A rubric is a scoring tool for subjective assessments. It is a set of
criteria and standards linked to learning objectives that is used to
assess a student's performance on papers, projects, essays, and other
assignments. Rubrics allow for standardised evaluation according to
specified criteria, making grading simpler and more transparent.

You could use this to evaluate a church service, I suppose. ;o)

And before yoou do that, you'd better decide what a "rubric" is.
According to my dictionary, you may choose among:
• a direction in a liturgical book as to how a church service
should be conducted.
• a statement of purpose or function : art of a purpose, not for its
own sake, was his rubric.
• a category : party policies on matters falling under the rubric of
law and order.

If you speak as you would to a 5-year old, you will probably not be
misunderstood.

Just a couple of suggestions. First, take the time to develop a
rubric
for each question. If you don't know what you're looking for in the
students' answers, then how do you know you're assessing their
understanding? Second, head to diagnoser.com for many examples of
conceptual questions that get at students' understanding. I'm sure
others here can guide you to many other sources of such questions.
