Rubrics Slam and Post Seminar comments

It is unfortunate that rubrics consume so much time, for such a simple tool. After all a rubric is simply a method to communicate requirements. Development of a good rubric involves a trial and error process. I am convinced that no one ever gets it right the first time. Perhaps, it is sort of like shaping steel. Further limited progression has taken place in the process of defining an "Adult Learner". One thing I can say with absolute certainty. I wish we had a book this term that would get to the point already. I find myself spending way too much energy reading the same material repeatedly. The online articles produced by myself and my fellow classmates are not really much better. You have to glean a small diamond shard from a ton of broken marbles. I further classify myself as an adult learner. I find myself frustrated during the process, especially if I believe that my efforts are without merit. I should clarify by stating that I believe the content is useful. I am just not sure about the method of delivery. I am thankful that week 3 is over!!! Week 4 has taken its place. I was so consumed by leading the #$#$# seminar, that I neglected to post in this blog. I won't make that mistake again. It is challenging at best to lead a class, while participating in another class, while working a full time job. I think that burnout is growing nearer on the horizon.
