Evidence-based grading (with the
source and your writing side by side) means that you can prove: ·
Either
to yourself that the instructor is correct ·
Or
you can prove to instructor that she is wrong – and she will be fine with
that Your sources are where you get
your evidence for what you figure out and what you write
and say about reality (such as history, biology, technology, and business).
In your future, the people who evaluate what you write and say will all be
experts in their fields. Upper level professors who might give you a
reference if you excel will be experts; your bosses will be experts. They
will know if you are faking understanding or, if they cannot be sure, they
will ask you for proof in a source they consider reliable. Comparing your
work with the source shows everything about
the evidence—and your work. I grade students’ written
assignments by comparing side by side what you wrote with the source you were
to read. Click if you want to see: ·
