Enjoyed your "keep it simple" blog and shared this on my Scoop it tool for Distance Learning. I included the following addendum fyi:

"On grading student essay responses / evaluating interviewee replies: F = no facts, rationales, answers; D = irrelevant or incoherent facts & rationales; C = too few relevant facts & rationales; B = too many relevant facts & rationales; A = keeps relevant facts & rationales in perspective, i.e., evaluates relevant facts & rationales."

I'm usually in the B category because I don't take the time to analyze everything.
