I've posted a posting about activity 4 :P]]> 2018-01-04 05:16:47 UTC https://padlet.com/myang9/fqwy1309lthy/wish/218673171 https://padlet.com/myang9/fqwy1309lthy/wish/218673224 i wonder what's the main topic of today's lesson. still not clear
--- Min's reply 
~ One focus of today's lesson is to deal with curriculum definitions and relating them to the curriculum policies/guides. Curriculum studies may offer abstract concepts like the different definitions. By understanding and clarifying these concepts, we can also understand and examine the ideas behind the school curriculum.

~The other focus was to provide the class with the two samples of presentations, so that we could have some discussion about what was expected for the group assignment; it was also an activity of peer-review though]]> 2018-01-04 05:18:13 UTC https://padlet.com/myang9/fqwy1309lthy/wish/218673224 After this activity, I still have no idea of what presentations can be considered as ones https://padlet.com/myang9/fqwy1309lthy/wish/218673263 2018-01-04 05:19:20 UTC https://padlet.com/myang9/fqwy1309lthy/wish/218673263 https://padlet.com/myang9/fqwy1309lthy/wish/218673316 what's the meaning of grading these two presentations？]]> 2018-01-04 05:20:58 UTC https://padlet.com/myang9/fqwy1309lthy/wish/218673316 Hi there, myang9 https://padlet.com/myang9/fqwy1309lthy/wish/218719776 This is Min. Thank you for the good questions, esp about Activity 4. What a nice surprise that you would go to the Padlet page...
I would say that by reviewing the two sample presentations, I meant to give you examples of what the presentations were like in this course.
-- Firstly, you could get a concrete feel of the topics chosen by the other students, how they organised their presentation and argued for their ideas. Of course, different topics may lend themselves to different ways of presenting them. These were just examples.
-- Then secondly, 'grading' was not the purpose, but it was the means by which I would like you to think about the quality of the presentations by reviewing them against to the rubric. This part is like a peer-review or peer-assessment activity. 
-- Thirdly, you found that different people gave different grades to the same sample -- any open-ended assessment might give us this grading difficulty. This is why teachers need to come to an agreement to the final grades after discussing with other teachers. It's how teachers interpret rubrics using our professional judgment. This is the real process of assessment. The keyword here is 'marker agreement' for reliable grading; but this would be something we will discuss about 'assessment'.]]> 2018-01-04 12:44:08 UTC https://padlet.com/myang9/fqwy1309lthy/wish/218719776
