Case: Revisions and Editing After teaching a unit on editing and revising, Ms. Minturn asks her students to pull out a hard copy of an essay they composed earlier in the year. She breaks the class into pairs and asks them to read and suggest edits and revisions on their partners' essays. A few students who didn't put much effort into the essays before have a lot of edits and revisions. Her students that did good jobs on their essays earlier in the year only have a few revisions and edits. She collects the revisions and grades each student according to a rubric on the effectiveness of his or her editing. How should she score the revisions? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Ms Minturn should score the revisions based on correctness and quality rather than quantity. She can have a criteria for completeness as well to show that students did not miss revisions in their editing. Revisions should be correct and of a high quality work which improves the essay. The quantity of revisions does not matter since some students will have a higher quantity than others based on effort put forth earlier in the semester. That is why the quantity of revisions should not be included as criteria on this rubric. |
