And on the topic of Subjective Grading in English/Writing Classes
I agree with you, and I would believe him if it weren’t for the fact that for all of our writing assignments we would peer review and my partner that semester was this one girl who’s writing was very poor. She repeatedly would score higher while making various grammar and spelling mistakes.

perhaps. Who knows we weren’t there. People’s feeling towards students will often bleed into their evaluations to some extent I’m sure.
In fact, they’ve done studies where you take the same essay and attribute it to a guys name or a girls, and the guy will reliably be graded a little higherl

umm… Not sure I can find the exact cite (though it’s been done quite a few times I think), but for a review check out Kunda & Thagard, 1996 – Psychological Review, 103, 284-308.
This reminds me of the old David E Kelley show ‘Boston Public’, where an older teacher was just blindly marking tests without looking at them. Another teacher asks him if he’s going to read the papers. The old teacher replies, “No, by now, I know if someone is an A student, or a B student, or even an F student. I don’t need to waste time reading them to know that.”

Some profs might also “identify” better than others with certain styles, etc. And it’s not just in writing courses either. I had one particular prof for a course in discrete math that marked me wrong on an exam for using “x” as the variable in a polynomial when he used “r” as the variable in the class example. And the workings and answer I had were correct. I believe he gave me 3/10 for the right answer. I wonder if people who used “r” but didn’t have a clue how to solve the problem got 7/10…

I agree with the profs “identifying” with certain writing styles. I had a prof for 2 courses last year and they were my two best marks, I strategically took a class with him each semester this year and have gotten above the class average on both papers we’ve done so far (with minimal effort).

That's just poor teaching
unless there’s some very good pedagogic reason why you want people to use a certain symbol for a certain unknown (which I can’t imagine here) this is just arbitrary and silly. The world is full of people who are bad at any given job, and that includes teachers.
The guy was unbelievably arrogant. Told us in class one day that he prof who wrote the textbook for the course was an idiot (he was in the same faculty and to my experience a great prof). Said if we solved problems using the textbook method instead of his, right or wrong he’d fail us. I complained about him but that never went anywhere… They actually wouldn’t take an anonymous complaint and wanted me to talk to him face to face. I chickened out on those terms cause I wasn’t sure if I would cross paths with him again.

well I’m glad they wouldn’t take anonymous complaints. That way madness lies. But I’m sure this guy got trashed in the regular course evals, if he was this big of a dick. Maybe he was a research star so it didn’t matter, but most departments take terrible reviews in those things somewhat seriously.
Yeah, I guess I can understand the anonymous complaints from students with an axe to grind… And I’m pretty sure lots of people had issues like mine based on hearsay.
Before I sound too much like a bitter prick, I’d better say that I loved my time in university and most all other profs I dealt with were great and added to the enjoyment of the experience.

I recall complaining once about the way a question had been marked when I was an undergrad. Can’t remember any of the details of it, just sitting in the office of whichever prof was in charge of undergrad affairs. The guy backed up his prof, which I think he pretty much had to, but lordy knows if there were quiet warnings afterwards to not do this sort of thing in the future. Or maybe they thought I was just wrong and being annoying. Who knows.
And because of my haste, I must now take the walk of shame. The professor was completely justified in grading me poorly.

My reply to Wan Ihite on "Curving":
It means you got 85% of the questions asked
Exactly. And the rest:
If you’d been asked harder questions you would have got less than 85% and if you’d been asked easier questions you would have gotten more than 85%.
is all hypothetical. How can you even begin to reason about anything like that? For the record, I said nothing about rounding up. It’s just as illogical as rounding down, but I mind it less :D.
by gettingcozywithsarkozy on Nov 22, 2011 3:43 PM EST reply actions
It’s just true. If I ask you harder questions you’ll get a lower score. If I ask easier questions I’ll get higher scores.
You can quiz people on Leafs knowledge. Ask people on Yonge street when the Leafs last won the cup they’ll score near 100%. Ask them what year Bester had his best save percentage they’ll score very poorly.
Does that mean that the people you asked the first question are smarter than those you ask the 2nd set, or that they know more about hockey? Nope, just that you asked them a harder question.
If you’re setting this as a test for a course you want to try to ask questions people will get about 75% right (assuming 70’s = B, and that’s what average you want)… and sometimes you hit high, sometimes you hit low. Sometimes you also get an unusually smart or dumb class, but that’s why this stuff is sometimes as much art as science.
Bell curving makes the exercise seem like a race (because what matters is your rank within the class), when in fact putting a bunch of students in a class together is just a matter of convenience; everyone has to learn on their own track.
Not only does bell-curving create a disconnect between stated expectation and evaluation, it also causes the strange situation where a student theoretically benefits from being selfish and retarding others’ learning (you’re better off going to an office hour on your own than encouraging ten people to show up for a study group).
I’m not saying it can’t be done, particularly as the class size increases past ~100, but it probably should not be used for small classes at all.
Oh, I'm sorry, just one moment. Is this a five minute argument or the full half hour?
Well, sure, but unless the class was pretty thick that’s a pretty clear example of a teacher giving an unreasonable evaluation and trying to correct for that. If bell-curving can be limited to “covering one’s ass” then I don’t think we need to have a big debate over comprehensive policy.
My problem is with the concept that every group of 30-40 always averages out to 70, and any deviation from that is a lump that needs to be hammered out.
Oh, I'm sorry, just one moment. Is this a five minute argument or the full half hour?
Oh, I think you’re right that there are absolutely some philosophical and practical reasons that curving as a matter of policy isn’t always a great idea – especially, as you say, in small groups.
You want to encourage students to have a mindset that focusses on learning and improvement rather than competing for grade scores.
That said, a little bit of curving here and there to compensate for an especially easy or hard test doesn’t strike me as inherently problematic… As I say, the trick is just to orchestrate it so that it’s always an upwards curve, because students forgive those easily, but get really upset about downwards curves :)
I have no experience in the matter because i majored in statistics and bell-curving grades wasn’t nearly as cool as nonparametric techniques.

LOL. Pick a new distribution for every test and force the grades to fit it.

Do a cluster analysis of all their tests for the term and grade them based on whether their results represent a unitary construct. :)

Curving is fine if you understand statistics (I don’t get the impression that most of my non-psych teachers had any idea what power or significance was, despite their enthusiasm for normalizing results). As you say, there is a strong subjective element in how students receive their grades… you want to be seen as the angel lifting them just a bit higher, not the devil dragging them down. The fact that you set up the system in which they fly or fall doesn’t enter into their analysis when it’s just “I got (X) but you gave me (X +/- Y). X is me, Y is you”.
Oh, I'm sorry, just one moment. Is this a five minute argument or the full half hour?
If I ask you harder questions you’ll get a lower score. If I ask easier questions I’ll get higher scores.
You’re assuming that with a score of 85% I automatically got the easiest 85 out of 100 correct. What’s defines “easy” and what defines “difficult”? Many times on an exam it’s a matter of “oh, I know this answer because I happened to study that exact section in the review.”

Comments closed in the last post before I could add my two cents re: Turris
I’m fine with us not getting him. I’m not overpaying for someone who hasn’t shown they’re any better than a 3rd liner, I don’t care where he was drafted. With Lupul, a player who was supposedly added for cap reasons, he has previously shown himself to at least be a lower-end 1st liner/good 2nd liner. Sure, he was coming back from injury and it was iffy, same with Lombardi, but he had SHOWN he could do it. Turris has not shown any of that, and I don’t want us paying our unproven talent that’s younger for their older unproven talent. That’s how you get Raycroft’d
True but also keep in mind that teams do employ different systems. Maybe the system they play in Phoenix isn’t beneficial to a player like Turris. I think some players can adapt while others seem to strive or fail under certain systems. This all can be a bunch of bunk but it makes me wonder why some player excel with certain teams and falter with others.
"There's been four different Cup winners the last four years, and I got one of them (Anaheim) and it was a fighting team. We're playing it that way regardless." - B. Burke, Toronto Maple Leafs GM
players totally have to fit the system. But it’s often unpredictable exactly how WELL a given player will fit…. Chemistry can be an incredibly unpredictable task master
Which I find especially true of young players. An example of this would be like someone like Franson. He has all the skills, etc but will he fit within the system we play… sort of like if we end up getting Turris will he develop into a 1C in our system even though he hasn’t even come close to showing that in Phoenix?

by Goosemonster on Nov 22, 2011 4:31 PM EST up reply actions
It’d be really nice if the Leafs never had to overpay for anything and always got exactly what they deserve in every transaction. Unfortunately business doesn’t work that way. The only reason Turris is even available is because he has underperformed. And at this point, probably so alienated the Phoenix management that they only see him as an asset that must be monetized rather than a building block for the team. To bring it back to the Jays in the previous post, the Jays did not acquire Colby Rasmus because he hit .225 (including an ugly .173 in Toronto) they acquired him because they believe he has the potential to be a great player, and got the chance because he fell out of favour with La Russa.
It would be fantastic if the Leafs could only ever take chances on sure things, but it doesn’t work that way. If you want to take a chance, there is always the possibility of getting burned.

I’m talking about this specific case as opposed to trades in general. of course you win some lose some, but I’m not paying Kadri, or certainly not Kadri+ for a player just because he was a high draft pick.
by Goosemonster on Nov 22, 2011 4:32 PM EST up reply actions
If you think he’ll only ever be a 30-point player, then sure. You’re right. But my point is the Jays don’t think Rasmus is a career .255 hitter (which is what he is right now) and any team that ever trades for Turris will do so because they don’t think he’s a 30 points in 110 games player either.
And I’m not just talking about winning some and losing some, I’m talking about trying to trade for young players in this kind of situation. The only reason you ever come up with these opportunities is because there’s been a falling out, and the reason for that is never good.
That’s why you can’t look at it as “oh well how is it worth it to trade Kadri for some schmo who’s only scored 30 points”: it’s because whatever you give up, you are giving it up for potential. And while you might not see it, plenty of teams other than the Leafs see it. Someone’s going to give this kid a chance, Phoenix or elsewhere.
Professional cusser causer.
by T is for Truculence on Nov 22, 2011 4:38 PM EST up reply actions
It’s about trading a shot at really high potential for a player with a higher certainty at a lower ceiling.
Whether that’s worth it in any individual case is always a bit of a gamble, but smart talent evaluation will skew those gambles in your favor.
To give up a player of Kadri’s promise, Turis would have to have an insanely high ceiling, and non-terrible odds of getting to it.
But in both cases with either players (Kadri and Turris) their known quantity is somewhat known. We can have a rough estimate of what each player has done and can guess what their value may be. I think for every prospect it makes sense to have timelines or targets that a player should hit at a certain time to gauge progress, anything above that would constitute a “bonus” as per their contracts.
Maybe in a young player such as Turris its way too early to peg him as a career 3rd liner. I don’t know since I’m just a fan and am an outside observer. There was and I believe still will be a lot of interest for him however don’t think it will cost much to get him since he is a known commodity.
I don’t know how valuable or beneficial he would be for the Leafs or not so I don’t know if we should pass or not on him. I’m sure we have something we can use to get him but it will be a question of will it be worth it in the end.
"There's been four different Cup winners the last four years, and I got one of them (Anaheim) and it was a fighting team. We're playing it that way regardless." - B. Burke, Toronto Maple Leafs GM
In the Jays’ case, they traded a whole bunch of parts with higher certainties and lower ceilings (including a separate deal just to pick up a pitcher) to get one player that has much more individual potential than any of them. That’s what I think will ultimately happen with Turris. It might not be the Leafs, it might not be anyone. But Phoenix is not going to give him away, and Toronto won’t be able to get him for assets that make it seem like they’re doing Phoenix a favour.
Professional cusser causer.
by T is for Truculence on Nov 22, 2011 4:56 PM EST up reply actions
well it’s supply and demand isn’t it. If there’s some other team willing to give up more and better assets than Toronto to take a flier on this guy then maybe they get him instead (unless it’s a within-division rival or something). But at the end of the day you have to ask how high you still believe the ceiling to be, what are the odds he gets close to it (one in three? One in a thousand?) and then figure out how much you’re willing to give up based on that.
At the end of the day these deals CAN be win/win. If Turis’ potential was never going to be unlocked for some reason in the desert, then the yotes would do well to deal him to another team for something slightly less than his actual final potential value. They turn a loss into an asset, while the other team gets to swap one asset for a slightly better one.
Who knows, maybe the Leafs come out a winner on that. In any event it seems unlikely he’ll be an earth shattering talent, right, so let’s not get TOO exercised over it.
Fair enough, I just don’t think Turris is worth it plain and simple. If someone else wants to trade their potential for him, feel free. I’ll part with Caputi for him, but that’s really about it because I don’t want him.

readers digest had surveyed tends of thousands of people by phone
and found Dewey was going to win. THey were so confident in this that a newspaper printed their headline early before the results were all in.
But when they counted the votes, Dewey lost and Truman won.
So how was the survey so wrong? Small sample size? Nope, it was enormous.
The problem was it was a phone survey. In 1948. Who has phones in 1948? Rich people. Rich people really did want Dewey to win. But poor people voted too despite their lack of phones.
It’s one of THE classic cases of biased sampling.
Makes my head explode just a bit when people cite magazine surveys. Oh really… so 1200 people that read your magazine and were motivated to write in to answer your question, and 80% answered in the affirmative to whatever it was you were asking? Funny thing that.
Oh, I'm sorry, just one moment. Is this a five minute argument or the full half hour?
So are we gonna see the 1-3-1 all night long tonight? If so do you think the Leafs will have an effective way to break it? I’m thinking they gain the line via the way they do on the PP as a way to do it. If we can’t get the skating going tonight it might be a stinker of a game. Thoughts?

Yeah, mentioned it in the other thread. We have done well generating chances against both PHX and NSH. The key is using the defense to rush through the neutral zone. Phaneuf, Gunnar, Liles, Franson, and Gardiner will all have to gain the zone and try and establish possession. Plus Kessel is OK off the rush.

Uh-oh Gus gets the start. Well, this could be a goal-fest. Not in our favour, except a hat trick by Kessel on Zombie Roloson.
interesting to see if we can get the same gus we got last time…. and I mean in terms of the qualitative way he played – quiet, few rebounds, etc.
well if he blows this game I have a hard time believing he can remain our backup, other than to let Scrivens develop in the AHL while we decide to blow our games our backup plays.

the Pens’ jerseys were originally blue, til they changed the colour scheme to match the other Pittsburgh teams. So that’s where those alternates come from.
Annoying related thing, one of the reasons original Raptors ownership chose a new name rather than reestablishing the Huskies moniker is because the Huskies were blue and white and they wanted to be different than the Leafs (although I think the biggest thing was that Jurassic Park was all the rage at the time). Basically we could have a cool blue and white basketball team now (and it would be more consistent with it’s now common parentage with the Leafs), instead of a lame one named after a prehistoric lizard that has nothing to do with Toronto.

The Toronto Huns would have made just as much sense, but there was no awesome movie about them at the time.

I really think Huskies would’ve been cool, especially considering we’re the only Canadian team (now), and I like those Blue and White jerseys.

Also, I guess scheduling a lot easier when teams play opposite seasons. It’s funny to think how the current NHL schedule is probably based a lot on what the NBA schedule would’ve been with several teams sharing arenas, yet now it’s a non-issue.

Anyone worried about the team we’re tossing on the ice just needs to look at few players that got tossed to the curb…. and by that I mean Calgary. Matt Stajan rocking out with 3 assist and no goals thusfar, and Niklas Hagman (the ‘gem’ that we sacrificed) being shipped off to the Ducks, and equally ineffective. Hopefully those Raask/Raycroft trades are a thing of the past, as the Lupul/Gardiner for Beauchemin trade, the Phaneuf robbery, or even Joe Colborne and some picks for Kaberle represent a seismic shift.
Mildy off topic, but these are some of the boys that will spank the Lightning! (Not a euphemism for jerking off….. although it should be.)
