Democratizing Evaluation: Legit?


I share this reflection result of the experience I had this semester in my course, which evaluated community partners with a note to students, with a weighting of 5% the note.

"We sadly called attention to the lack of commitment and awareness of students
. To show as little interest in [our foundation] and
our children, we not only encourage but also valued the opportunity to
be a real contribution to improving our society. "

This is the comment that got one of the community members, criticizing the lack of student engagement, which meant that the final work was not given a real contribution to the organization. The main criticisms were aimed at the few meetings held with community partner, not having understood the need I had the organization, not having a share in the various stages of the project, which led to the planning of volunteer students came not respond to what the organization needed.
Without going into details of what went wrong (if it was a lack of student interest in the organization's limited experience in working with students or in the planning of the course), the result is interesting. The work that the student group handed, scored on 4.0, since from the standpoint of the curricular aspects of the course, deserved to be approved. However, note that the community partner was put under 2.5, based on a subjective grade averaged a score obtained from a table of observations with a score (in order to reduce subjectivity). The interesting thing is that community members evaluated the process in the field, and satisfaction with the product developed "with" students.
this regard me two questions arise: Is it legitimate to evaluate the community partner with a note on the final weight of the industry? Could increase the weight of the note by the community partner from 5% to 15%?

Ay! is not easy to justify this blog ... Customer Orientation

What makes a website or blog generates a community concerned?
O, which is the same, what makes people read and comment on a blog?
In my opinion the most basic is that there is a group of people with access to technology, interested in a topic and willing to spend even a short time to acquire and share knowledge and opinions about him.
There are also thousands of tricks for a more friendly blog. Among those suggested in the website are those of Rebecca Blood, a gringa who even published a book on how to write better blogs.
But my interest is more practical, more basic. I think a blog can generate interest, be a tool for learning and encouraging discussions are created ... in this case about Service-Learning. (Who would have told me I was number one detractor of these things)
Specifically I need to convince my boss that my efforts to keep this blog make sense. And it is costing. A lot.

Dresses For Juniors For Valentines



is fashionable in the company to rethink the management talk about the needs and demands of customers. Considering that companies are essentially profiting from their products or services clearly must be kept "tasting" to their customers.
believe in service learning is a phenomenon quite unique on this point.
While it is important to remain attentive to the needs of our clients (and clients consider this program to students and community partners), occasional no "taste." For example, if a student has no interest in doing a service activity is deemed unnecessary and independent protest if it results in better learning and benefit to the community partner.
In a case like this, I think it's possible "not listening" to customers, under the belief that if teachers, community partners and other students support the initiative ... then we are on track.
Do you believe?
