Assessment Criteria
The assessment measures critical judgment regarding relationships and technology, not the student's social life. Five criteria across four assessment levels. Distinguishing simulation from reality and seeing both sides carry the most weight.
| Criterion | Excellent | Good | Developing | Insufficient | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. The human anchor (own community, without a machine) | Personal, tangible, used as evidence in Step 3 | Present and utilized | Superficial | Missing or written after the fact | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2. Design vs. experience | Clear distinction between what the platform is designed to do and what the user experiences | Mostly distinguished | Inconsistent | Design and experience lumped together | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3. Simulation vs. connection | Points out precisely where a simulated connection was presented as a real relationship | Identifies at least one instance | Mentions without applying | Mistakes simulated connection for a real relationship | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4. Honest Oracle (both sides) | Shows both the loss AND the real support of digital relationships; rejects ≥2 points | Both sides present | Only one side | One-sided echo | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 5. Judgment and action | Reasoned judgment + one real, tangible step in own relationships | Judgment and action present | Generically phrased | No judgment or no action | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Overall Grade (Guideline)
- Excellent: 4–5 criteria excellent, nothing below "Good".
- Good: mostly "Good" or better, both sides examined.
- Pass: methodological locks present but shallow.
- Fail: one-sided judgment, simulation confused with connection, or no action.
Key rule: a one-sided conclusion (only "the internet destroys communities" or only "the internet connects us all") cannot receive higher than "Developing". Analysis sees both sides.
