I had final techno manager round which was completed on 30 Mar, and after ugadi holiday, on 6th I have received the positive feedback and confirmation mail and asked to share the payslips and relevant documents. Still waiting for the offer letter. Called HR on 20th April for the updates, she told she is working on my offer and it will release soon. Any ideas on this fishes?Cerner Corporation

I usually will choose a short writing that still requires structured analysis ( we do 1-paragraph analytical writing at the end of each lesson) & screenshot several students answers with varying levels of proficiency as anonymous examples on a slideshow. Students work in pairs as we go through the sideshow as a class (though it can be done individually) and score the example based on a simplified version of the rubric I use to grade their writing. They can give 0, 1, or 2 points for each of 5 things:
- Is there a clear claim that restates & answers the question?
- Did they use relevant evidence that support their claim?
- Did they clearly explain the reasoning behind their claim & evidence?
- Did the overall response relate to the question?
- Was the response easily understood?
They get 2 minutes to give their scores & total up the points for each example before we poll the class to see what score was given by the majority of people. I then call on some people to defend the score they gave.
Students immediately recognize their responses when they are used as examples & are full of anticipation for their classmates' feedback. Hearing their classmates explain what they liked or didn't like in the writing brings home the point of what each student needs to work on better than any conference or workshop ever could. Also, they have a certain respect for their peers' perspective because their classmates know what has been taught & what the expectations are; they have to meet the same requirements in writing. So they know their classmates are speaking the truth about if they measured up to what everyone should be doing.
