Folks, I take back any criticism I made of the chatbot because I discovered that it’s really great at writing long, utterly meaningless “rubrics.” I had no idea what rubrics were until yesterday when it transpired that I will have to write a bunch of them. Now that I discovered that the chatbot can churn them out like a crazy monkey, I’m in heaven. Here is an example:
Rubric for Final Exam in “Introduction to Hispanic Civilization”:
I. Content Knowledge:
- Demonstrates understanding of key concepts and historical events related to Hispanic civilization (50%)
- Provides specific examples and details to support arguments (25%)
- Integrates course readings and lectures into responses (25%)
II. Critical Thinking:
- Formulates well-developed arguments with clear thesis statements (30%)
- Analyzes and evaluates primary and secondary sources (30%)
- Demonstrates ability to synthesize information from multiple sources (20%)
III. Writing Skills:
- Writing is clear, organized, and coherent (20%)
- Proper use of grammar, spelling, and punctuation (10%)
IV. Final Exam Specifics:
- Follows directions and answers all questions (5%)
- Exam is completed in allotted time (5%)
Total Points: 100
Note: The percentages assigned to each category are meant to be used as a guideline and can be adjusted based on the importance placed on each category by the instructor.
I have no idea what any of this means because I can’t force my brain to process this bureaucra-speak. But who cares? I’ll get the chatbot to create a mountain of these and bury our administrators.
