No I checked

I always thought writing essays was the stupidest part of any class because it's entirely up to the teacher's viewpoint on whether the essay was good or not. I finally had a prof in college that REQUIRED us to have a meeting with him with our first draft in hand so that he could critique them before actually turning them in for grading, and suddenly it became so much easier to get good grades on essays.

I feel like essays are where teachers bump up the kids that don't do well but still try

I'm fucked because I have no idea what a rubrick is

[-] [email protected] 51 points 2 weeks ago

It's a 3x3x3 cube that teachers give to students to stop them fidgeting in class

No, that's a Rubik's. A rubric is a river that traditionally marked the northern border of Italy.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

No that's the Rubicon. Rubric is the guy who directed The Shining

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

No no that's Kubrick. Ruberic is when you have a petty argument with someone.

The ol' Lemmy Switcheroo!

For those of us who need to do research to get this joke, I already did it. They mean Rubicon River (which is no longer in the north, so don't look for it there, it's on the opposite side of the knee).

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

For more context, the Rubicon is famous less among geographers and more among historians. Famously, the governor of a province was not allowed to bring an army south of the Rubicon into Italy, so when Julius Caesar marched south with his army, that is the point at which it was impossible for Rome not to go to civil war. The phrase "crossing the Rubicon" is an English-language idiom (I don't know if equivalents exist in other languages, though I wouldn't be surprised if it's common across countries formerly in the Roman Empire) meaning "passing a point of no return".

its basically a set of rules the teacher uses to grade students, so just follow the rubric and you'll get good marks

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago

Bold of you to assume they won't mark me down based on information they never provided because it was "expected knowledge"

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

What if Ric doesn't want to be rubbed?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Ric always wants it.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

... that's literally the point of a rubric.
