Derek- this sounds so familiar! I have just been through this exercise with my Head of School- and after "getting away" with some fantastic creative blogging as part of my English Literature units I feel as if I have had some of the creative potential cut-away by the demands of new assessment regulations at the university. Maybe it is for the good, I am not completely sure yet. At all events please look at the new rubric and guidelines that I have prepared in line with University expectations.....
Good Luck!
Michael
