Faux Pas: It's 2/6 not 2/4: Below National Passing Tsk Tsk

Marje Menorca Manacho
Rose Ann Rance Gonzales

Well congratulations to our adopt a CPA reviewee recipient Rose Ann Rance Gonzales and Marje Menorca Manacho for passing the October 2008 CPA Licensure Exam. The national passing rate was 2,442/6,663 (36.54%). RSC's passing rate was 33.33%.

Earlier yesterday when the result was released, the IBA family was sooooo excited expecting that they hit the 50% goal. Unfortunately there were two other takers who did not inform the office about their plan of taking. I am not sure if these two did ever review. Whoever you are, better luck next time, but please... do inform the office of your intent so that we can include you in our prayers. And please, we are protecting the passing rate of BSA in RSC so that it won't close. Please cooperate with us in our efforts of elevating RSC's performance in the Licensure Exam. Anyway, Congrats to Rose Ann and Marje!

Marigondon Norte is a tiger grass growing village in San Andres, Romblon. It is located in the northeastern part of the municipality along the lush and rolling mountains of central Tablas. It is bounded by San Agustin in the east and Calatrava in the north. It has an approximate total land area of 2,800 hectares and is home to about 221 households of 1,175 (NSO, 2005) people. It is a typical remote agricultural Philippine village, barely reached by technological breakthroughs because of its rugged trails and far-flung distance (about 14-18km) from the town proper. Although passable to robust motorcycles and sturdy vehicles, transportation remains a major problem because large portions of the service road are still in bad shape and condition.

One time in my class several years ago, a student asked me why do mushrooms flourish after lightning. All I could mutter was, mushroom absrobed the nitrogen in the air because there is no way it can be directly absorbed but through that process. (lols). Here's one that gives a better explanation:

Rubrics

As opposed to most traditional forms of testing, performance assessment does not have clear-cut or wrong answers. Rather there are degrees to which a student is successful or unsuccessful. This can be accomplished by creating rubrics. Airasian, (1991) Popham, (1995) and Stiggins, 1994) were cited by Brualdi (2000) on their definition of rubric as a rating system by which teachers can determine at what level of proficiency a student is able to perform a task or display knowledge of a concept. With rubrics, the different levels of proficiency for each criterion can be defined. Scoring rubrics are descriptive scoring schemes that are developed by teachers or other evaluators to guide the analysis of the products or processes of students’ efforts (Brookhart, 1999). Scoring rubrics are typically employed when a judgment of quality is required and maybe used to evaluate broad range of subjects. In the article by Heidi Goodrich Andrade published in American Leadership in 1999, he defined rubr...
