Gilman has taken on the big issues of male dominance and female acquiescence — all the complicated stuff that falls under the women's-studies rubric "the male gaze" — and to what extent our thoughts about and behavior toward the opposite sex may be biologically or culturally determined.
None of this variety diminishes the energy or importance of what is going on, but at least some people who work on subjects that would be included under the animal studies rubric, like Dr. Jamieson at N.Y.U. and Dr. Desmond at Illinois, think the scholarly ferment has a way to go before it can clearly see itself as an academic field.
The criteria of facilities being within 100 km of the hospital housing the wound care team was applied to allow for the physical transport of residents to the wound care team if deemed necessary as determined by the study referral rubric.
Studies on rubric use or its impacts on ratings are steadily increasing, but are still at a primitive stage.
In total, 21 studies about rubrics were analyzed through content analysis.
This fall and into 2014, the Architectural League of New York will sponsor a series of public programs, workshops and eventually a design study under the rubric "The 5,000-Pound Life".
For such a study, an expanded rubric is recommended.
Previous rubric studies concentrated on the development and benefits of rubrics (Jonsson & Svingby, 2007); therefore, studies describing rubric effects on teacher-raters were difficult to find (Rezaei and Lovorn, 2010), and few studies covered the actual effects of their use.
Empirical evidence in rubric studies show that using rubrics can make assessments more reliable (Jonsson & Svingby, 2007; Penny, Johnson, & Gordon, 2000; Silvestri & Oescher, 2006; Wolf & Stevens, 2007).
Past research on rubric studies has focused on investigating changes in rater reliability (Lumley & McNamara 1995; McNamara, 1996; Weigle, 1998).
