If true peer review of student writing seems to take too much time, and you've noticed that students are reluctant to assign each other bad grades, maybe peer ranking provides a useful middle ground.

It seems like this article raises as many questions as it answers. The first, of course, is whether the CIP is doing enough to provide the elements which do support deep change. But I think we also have to ask, if incentives don't produce deep change, what do they support and is that enough?

One issue in discussions of college writing is how to incorporate writing practice into STEM courses. Some Kenyon professors in STEM subjects include journal assignments and process descriptions into their courses. Here are some suggestions on similar metacognitive "writing to learn" approaches, including guidelines for feedback to students.

Fascinating set of articles addressing the ways background music impacts memory, attention, mood, and task performance. (Really short version: quiet is usually better, but not for all tasks, and I'm interested in the ways improved mood and sense of control over the environment might counterbalance other distractors.)

Alex Alderman on 30 Aug 18

This article touches on some of the concerns about rubrics I often hear from faculty, especially that rubrics cause students to "write to the rubric". The author suggests making rubrics focused on generally beneficial writing habits. Another issue mentioned is the variance of rubrics between faculty, but that seems healthy given that writing assignments are also thinking assignments, and patterns of thinking may vary significantly from course to course.
