From Mary Lou- AP scoring experience in Princeton

Group, this post is optional if you would like to comment on it, but Mary Lou wanted me to relay her first full day in Princeton for the AP Art scoring...

From Mary Lou:
Just a quick update on the scoring. We are scoring 26,000 portfolios this week. We were trained on the scoring rubric this morning in quality and concentration and have already started the scoring this afternoon. The task is mentally and physically challenging. Lots of interesting people from all over. Please update the group on day one of my scoring journey.

My understanding is that three readers score each section: breadth, concentration, and quality. The scores are then averaged. But that way one person only is not assigning a score to a student's portfolio, most likely up to nine readers are scoring it. So a reader could spend a day just scoring concentrations. That might make it difficult to keep track of how many you actually score. If Mary Lou sends me more updates, I will post.

Update from Mary Lou:
Hi AP Group,
This is day 5 and we have completed all the portfolios in 2D-there were 12,000 of those and all the 3D portfolios- 1,700 . We are working on Drawing and there are 11,600 of these. I figure that I have evaluated close to 800 portfolios so far. It is a interesting process and I will fill you in when i return. ML

Hi AP Group,
We have completed the reading of all the portfolios and we have a brief few minutes before we load the buses to travel to the Met in NYC. I am clearly brain dead at this point so I will write more tomorrow. Tomorrow we will debrief the reading which should be interesting. We will be looking at the top quality work. Until tomorrow, ML
