MY GROUP'S EVALUATION CRITERIA

You are free to adopt the criteria that you judge best. Please indicate them here.

Some students have asked me for an example of criteria. I am giving an example below but, again, you are free to choose the criteria you want.
 
 
1. the transcript of a short exchange (approximately 4 utterances) while you were your double.
-- Is the transcription easy to read? If it is written with terrible handwriting on an old piece of paper, it should not receive credit.
-- Is the transcription accurate? Note: If it is impossible to hear words, did the student indicate that something is missing, for example like this: PETER: “Yeah, I like reggae music, too, especially xxxx xxx xx xxxxxxxx.” (It was impossible to hear the last words and “xxxx xxx xx xxxxxxxx” indicates APPROXIMATELY how many words have been omitted.)
 
2. the transcript of a short exchange (approximately 4 utterances) while you were yourself.
-- Same criteria: easy to read and accurate.
 
3. a description of the differences (if any) in your English in each case.
-- Does the report give: (a.) lexical and syntactical differences?* (b.) pragmatic differences** (c.) cultural differences?***
*Example of a linguistic difference: “As my double I said 'I'm gonna go”, as myself using scholastic English I said “I will go.”
**Pragmatic difference: “As my double I said 'The dooooor!!”, as myself using scholastic English I said “Please close the door.”
***Cultural difference: “As my double I said 'We're brothers, bro!!”, as myself using scholastic English I said “We're friends now.”
(It is OK to give just lexical and syntactical differences,but the best reports will give pragmatic and cultural differences, too.:
If there are no differences, most students will simply say so. The best students will say what they MIGHT have said to be different.)
 
4. a description of the differences (if any) in the reaction of your double to your English in each case.
-- Does the report explain the differences clearly and in detail? Does the report give examples to justify a statement?*
*NOT “Peter was surprised”, but “Peter was surprised: he started to stutter: “Well, you...you....you sound like Bob Marley!”
