Ah, ok. Have you seen the public merit system? I believe column O is what @amberkashif is also concerned about. It represents engagement. It's a new grading criterion we're testing out. It applies to all articles entered into the contest during the contest window.
If you check out the merit system and check the top of each column, you'll see a note appear that lists each criterion.
There was no suspicion of plagiarism at any time.
yes, but it's the same table I'm referring to hahaha column O is with the name of the plagiarism for the notes.
I think it's just the name or the note in the wrong place As for the engagement, I already understand and totally agree
Oh my god that's old. Apologies. I'll correct that...no, definitely no plagiarism.
Exactly @scholaris sir, it is the column O I am concerned about. Mmmm. -1 for giving engagement to two contestants. So for commenting on 4 will bring zero ????
So, in terms of engagement, it applies only to when the contest is open. If you have engagement, but:
about this criterion we will have a question to be thought about. For example, in my case I can't always answer them all on the same day. I just answered everyone of my posts from the last 3/4 days just today. And that made me think of the following. the person who makes the post on the day the participation ends, in the last hours, how to know if he will have comments and mainly re-respond? all this because of the time it takes...
Very good points. I’ll remove the column for this week. Instead, I’ll look at cross commenting on other peoples posts, but I won’t make it an official count. I’ll present the data next week.
Maybe, you could test something as people would have 3 or 4 days to post. The other days to close the 7th of the week would be to evaluate these criteria
That's a good plan. I'd have to wait for the end of the contest though to evaluate. And the data would have to be generated automatically. The analysis wouldn't take too long with about 30-40 people weekly. Definitely doable.
Ok. Now I got it. Thanks for the explanation but I could post at the eleventh hour and didn't get time to respond instantly. I responded them today
I’ll revise the rules. I think I can set up some automation that will let me see cross posting of comments. That way, if you participate in commenting on other posts during the week, you can get credit for it.
It will change the contest and skew the normal grading. Can you see it and how it will affect the contest? It will bring change alright, but baby steps for now.
Hmmm. That seems to increase engagement overall. It will make the contest more productive. Thanks for consideration, sir.
Ok. I've revised the rules for this week. I'll cover it in the update, but it goes like this:
Engagement (Experimental): This could be the most challenging part of grading.
The intent will be to provide additional grading on authors who engage in communication either in their own article or that of others.
Thanks for the update. ☺
The engagement applies to your own article entry. We don't have the people to check for cross-commenting.
