Teacher Rubric (Printable Edition)

archive_org module — instructor_materials/teacher_rubric_printable.md#

Purpose#

This rubric evaluates student mastery of the archive_org module using RTT structural reasoning:

• drift classification
• continuity kernel identification
• substrate stability reasoning
• regime shift detection
• continuity break interpretation
• final snapshot selection using RTT logic

All evaluation is structural, not content‑based.

Scoring Overview#

Performance Levels#

Mastery (45–50 points)#

• Drift levels correct across all scenarios
• Continuity kernel identified with precision
• Substrate stability reasoning consistently correct
• Regime shifts detected and explained
• Continuity breaks correctly interpreted
• Final snapshot choices fully RTT‑aligned

Proficiency (38–44 points)#

• Mostly correct drift and continuity reasoning
• Minor substrate or regime‑shift errors
• Snapshot choices reasonable but not fully justified

Developing (30–37 points)#

• Drift classification inconsistent
• Continuity kernel partially correct
• Substrate reasoning incomplete
• Snapshot choices weakly justified

Needs Support (≤29 points)#

• Drift misunderstood
• Continuity kernel missing or incorrect
• Substrate reasoning absent
• Snapshot choices not grounded in RTT logic

Evaluation Criteria (Detailed)#

1. Drift Analysis (10 pts)#

Students should:

• classify drift using structural changes only
• identify redesigns, template shifts, navigation changes, CMS migrations
• avoid content‑based reasoning

2. Continuity Kernel (10 pts)#

Students should identify elements that persist across snapshots:

• header
• footer
• navigation skeleton
• index pages
• stable layout blocks

3. Substrate Reasoning (10 pts)#

Students should:

• rank stability (PDF > image > HTML > OCR)
• recognize mixed‑layer risk
• explain why stable substrates produce reliable snapshots

4. Regime Shifts (5 pts)#

Students should detect major structural transitions:

• static → CMS
• HTML → PDF
• single‑page → multi‑page

5. Continuity Breaks (5 pts)#

Students should:

• identify missing years in timeline
• explain uncertainty introduced by gaps

6. Final Snapshot Choice (10 pts)#

Students must justify their choice using:

• drift
• continuity
• substrate stability
• absence of breaks
• post‑migration stabilization

Instructor Notes#

• Emphasize structure over content.
• Students often confuse visual changes with structural drift — remind them to focus on layout, navigation, templates, and substrate.
• Mixed substrates require careful, layer‑aware evaluation.
• The newest snapshot is not always the most reliable; stability and continuity matter more.
