HCI colleagues:
Next semester I teach intro HCI/web design for sophomores. Because it's good practice and because it's robust to student use of LLMs, I want to increase the part of the grade earned via in-class/studio participation. But this can be stressful if "participation" is assessed with vaguely defined, potentially subjective criteria. So I'm looking for good rubrics that I can use to give the students a more concrete sense of what is expected of them. Please share what you have!

@karger interesting! i like this approach. and this is actually a serious non-snarky response, but i've found good LLMs to be helpful brainstorming aids for instructional design/pedagogical questions like this (but perhaps you've already tried doing this)

@karger the v0 of this is just to make attendance mandatory (with a small number of freebie excused days), and maybe have a no-laptop-open policy

@karger being able to talk about a specific design is a core skill for any designer. To be able to describe it in open terms to talk about its pros and cons and to make suggestions. I'm not really sure how an llm could help you with this but having some type of activity where the students are forced to think on their feet and describe is very good practice for their professional life.

@karger Participation is complicated to score — for some students it's trivial to be talkative and for others impossible. In the case of my classes, I require students to peer review a certain number of others' work, and give them extra credit for doing more of it; but that works because the courses are asynchronous.
