Assessment and Calibration

Fresh scenario​

A peer says, “Your notes are too long; delete all examples.” Your audience is a beginner who confused copying with moving a file. Respond to the feedback and revise a short explanation without losing the distinction. Draft a focused question about any remaining uncertainty. Then show how a piece of feedback changed your own lab artifact.

Three required dimensions​

Score 0 (missing/incorrect), 1 (partly usable), or 2 (clear and justified). All three must reach 2; repair with a new audience or example.

  • C1 — Explanation: named audience, accurate main point, usable example and a condition or limitation; new-case understanding check included.
  • C2 — Help-seeking: sufficient relevant context, expected/actual result or competing interpretations, attempted reasoning and one precise question; unnecessary private data omitted.
  • C3 — Feedback and revision: specific observation and action, reasoned response, preserved before/after artifact, and a workable cooperation/fallback agreement. Label peer versus solo evidence correctly.

Calibration — read after attempting​

Acknowledge the length concern, retain one example that serves the beginner's misconception, and remove redundant detail. Explain why removing every example would defeat the stated purpose. Check with a new case such as copying a note and then moving the copy. There is no mandatory script; assess whether the revision solves the audience's problem.

A generic “thanks, fixed” without a visible revision cannot pass C3. A solo role-play may satisfy this Launchpad preparation gate if labeled, but it must never be reported as independently observed teamwork.
