Day 9: Unraveling the CAT

A. Understanding how your responses are scored (page 19 of the packet).

• Examples for category 4 and 5 errors HERE.

B. Returning CAT Practice 2: "I Know the Truth So Don't Bother me with Facts."

1. Check the rubric on Blackboard to see my feedback and your scores.    
2. If my feedback includes something like "3 going on 4," that means that this category is borderline; probably one reader would have given you a score of 3 and another reader would have given you a score of 4. 
3. Calculate your total score by adding the five scores. For borderline categories, do not round up or down! Do not forget to double the score for categories 1-3.

Example: 2 (3+4) + 2(4+4) + 2(3+2) + 3+ 4 + 4+ 4= 55.  

C. Reading/annotating: "I Know the Truth So Don't Bother me with Facts."
