10/3/2009 中国老师像警察，美国老师像律师 一个学生昨天课后和我约了今天中午谈话，关于第一次演讲的成绩。我给了他７２（说实话，就他演讲的质量，根据我们详细的评分标准，我觉得我手不是非常狠），然后因为提纲里的六处问题，又扣掉６分，最后得６６。显然这位危地马拉同学非常不爽，今天酝酿了充分的理由来跟我摆事实，讲道理。我也知道今天大概是场硬仗，因为这小子英文就跟母语似的，现场辩论我肯定不行，硬着头皮上吧。他说自己之前没买到课程材料，没有评分表，所以不知道我的评分标准，说自己的提纲如何如何符合要求，说另一个同学没交提纲还得了６５云云。我们讨论了一会儿，我觉得我也说不服他，他的理由也很牵强， 我也不能同意。ok，我说你填一个要求重新评分的申请表吧，我下午重新看录像打一下分。因为评分申诉中有明确约定，如果第二次评分后分数低于第一次，那么学生必须接受第二次的分数。如果还不服，可以上诉到课程主管老师再评，当然，评分结果无论高低就是终审了。刚刚重新看过他的录像，我十分庆幸好象自己英文水平和刚教课的时候比是有进步，我十分坚定地认为我打分绝对没问题，但为了大家都舒服一点，我还是在不疼不痒的地方给了他３分。然后写了一封狂长的信，告诉他结果，并且抄送给我们的课程主管。我现在觉得我应该上法学院。中国老师管的多，但老师的权威十分稳固；老外的老师权威是蕴涵在看似客观的说理上的。当然，在这种所谓的客观背后，我仍然感觉到我和学生之间的那种权力关系。面对我的所谓客观，他们仍然是弱势和值得同情和帮助的。 我觉得我的argument很强势，贴在这，万一以后大家碰到比较较劲的学生，可以考虑这种同样较劲的回复。 Hi XXX, I have regraded your speech. According to the grading criteria, I did not find many problems of my previous judgment. The only thing I can change is that I think your delivery and eye contact is better than I thought last time. With this adjustment, your grade for the speech will be changed from a C minus (72) to C (75). I will specifically talk with you about the organization of the speech next Tuesday. They are not coherent either in your outline or in your presentation. That's what you should really improve in the next project. Some other problems, such as attention-getter, transitions, preview, review, new info in the conclusion, are pointed out in my comments on your grading sheets and the outline. I will not add the points of your outline deficiencies back. You said you didn't have the packet by the time you were giving the speech so you couldn't check your outline against the grading check list. However, I would say, first, it is your responsibility to have the packet prepared. Even it's not available in the bookstore, you could always copy the pages needed from your classmates. Second, I talked about the outline in class and had a template in Elearning. I think there is enough information about the requirements. Regarding the comparison between your grade and someone else's, I don't think it is a legitimate argument. First, I don't remember there's anybody in our class who didn't turn in an outline at all. It could be a really lousy one, though. Second, the 65 he/she got (which is the numerical equivalant to D) is probably because of outline problems, or missing bibliography (which, if I follow the criteria strictly, should result in a grade of 0). Thirdly, turning in an outline doesn't automatically guarantee you a higher grade than those who don't, let alone there are quite a few deficiencies in your outline. I'm sorry about all the comments which make your speech look bad. This is the way I will help you to hone your communication skills in this class. As I said in the comments, you had pretty good delivery style. I'm sure you will do a way better job later with more attention on the preparation process. Thanks for bringing the grade issue to me. I'm glad we could make things clearer. If there's any problem, just let me know. If you are still not comfortable with my grading, please contact Mrs. Nancy Street, who is our course supervisor. She would be happy to discuss this with you. (I will cc this mail to her too) Now your overall grade of speech one is 69. I have already changed it in Elearning. Have a good weekend! BTHO Arkansas! 最后两句纯粹是调节气氛用的。我们这周末橄榄球赛对阿肯色. Comments (15)
