I have a problem with grading student talks and submissions based on the popular method of having a list of fixed criteria which give a certain number of points each, which are then added up.
Think something like
completeness 4
correctness 6
slides are pretty 3
time management 3
...
---
-------------------
60 pts
My problem with this approach is summarized best by an old Hagar the Horrible cartoon where they find a castaway guy on a remote island who claims to have survived by eating stones. "Sure, they are very hard to digest, but very easy to catch!"
In other words, if a talk completely sucks in a crucial way, does it make sense to say, sure it's all factually wrong, but the slides are pretty and time management was perfect, so you get a B.
How to solve this? One would need Multipliers instead of just adding points.

It is thus extremely #difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the #individual citizen to come to #objective conclusions and to make #intelligent use of his political #rights" https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein

#bumblebee queens nesting near to one another tend be unrelated or related at a very low level.
Sister queens from the same birth nest will disperse far in different directions before starting their own nests in spring.

Alright folks, it's a new month. Another chance to keep two single moms and a student housed this month. These aren't moving, so let's get on them—pick one, pick all, click "monthly" so they never face eviction again. Let's do it.

A philosophy professor at Texas A&M University has been told to change his syllabus to omit some teachings from Plato's "Symposium" in order to comply with guidance banning advocacy for “race and gender ideology.” Martin Peterson's course on contemporary moral issues covers concepts like Aristophanes' myth of the the split human and Diotima's Ladder of Love. Here's Spectrum Local News's coverage, plus a story from Daily Nous that includes the email exchange where Professor Peterson is told either to remove the modules and readings, or be assigned to a different course.

Over 75% of the 115 leading crop species are dependent upon/benefit from animal pollination. Only 28 of these 115 crop species are wind and/or self-pollinated.
We need #bees, #insects, #birds, #animals.
We need to realise this.
And realise this fast.
