Techniques for grading student performance in a simulation
In most cases, professors need to grade the performance of a student in a simulation for the experience to be considered official. While ultimately this grading is probably just as arbitrary as grading a paper, at least grading a paper has the benefit of history on its side.
-
Write a paper about the experience in the simulation.
-
Keep a journal during the experience.
-
Play a simulation well/complete the simulation.
-
Time spent in simulation.
-
Modify the simulation.
-
Different approaches.
-
The importance of doing this well
I am hesitant to call for any standards in this area (and doubt anyone would listen to me if I did). I recognize we are still in a time of deliberate mutation -- we need to try a lot and see what works. However, simulations will not be taken seriously in a formal learning environment until there is consensus on the issue of grading.
