People always claim that foxes are cunning, but I saw one rummaging through my bin on Monday night when the bins had been emptied that morning. He is a local fox, so he should have had that weighed up by now. Mr Roy, Hull

Good. I like this. Also avoid excessive use of modifying adjectives with the same word: exceptionally, highly, moderately, sufficiently, insufficiently
theeddesigner.bsky.social Dana Bui @theeddesigner.bsky.social · May 5
Tip for writing a rubric that's less subjective: Ensure the grade scale descriptors vary by more than just one word. wp.me/peKPOF-aq #EduSky #AcademicSky
Rubric language: The grade scale descriptors should describe the actual student performance required at that level. Try to describe in detail what the criteria look like in practice. Avoid using generic adjectives that describe quality, like ‘good’, ‘outstanding’ and ‘poor’, as each person has a different interpretation of these words. Words like ‘systematic’, ‘succinct’, and ‘oversimplified’ are more descriptive and have a clearer shared meaning.

I'm delighted to externally referee or assess education-focused academic promotions in psychology. So few education-focused profs, I see it as an act of social responsibility & citizenship. But if you're thinking research-based promotion, please ask one of the many researchers in the right sub-area.

A house on a street, with a driveway at the side leading to a garage with an up-and-over door. A low wall at the front and a couple of gateposts. A sign in the front garden reads 'NO TURNING'. In the gateway opening stands a man at a lathe, cutting curves into a piece of wood to make what looks like a standard lamp or staircase baluster. He is looking up with some surprise at he angry owner of the house, who has stomped out onto the front lawn in his slippers and is pointing at the sign, with a speech balloon reading 'OI!'.
