About this exercise
Your physics lab conclusion is graded on Claim, Evidence and Reasoning. Get exactly 3 numbered lines, one each for Claim, Evidence and Reasoning in that order, each labeled exactly Met or Not met with a reason under 15 words, plain text. Judge only by Mr. Abara's rubric and don't rewrite any of your sentences.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Asking for a grade. The AI gives a score and a polished rewrite, so you don't learn which part is missing. Try: Say: "Don't rewrite anything. Just label each part."
- Not giving exact labels. Without fixed labels, the AI hedges with "could be stronger". Try: Say: "Label each part exactly Met or Not met."
- Letting the AI use its own standard. The AI may accept Galileo as reasoning, even though your rubric asks for an idea from this unit. Try: Add: "Judge only by Mr. Abara's rubric."
- Not saying how many lines. The AI picks its own number, and it usually picks more lines than you need. Try: Be exact: "Exactly 3 numbered lines."
- Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting. Ask for a total and it often lands 20% over. Try: Cap each reason: "reason under 12 words."
- Forgetting where it will be read. AI formats for a screen, with bold and headings that show up as stray symbols on Canvas. Try: Say: "Plain text, no bold, no headings."
