SC - creations and creativity

[Karen Evans]

<< What's our suggested course of action? >>

Speaking as an English teacher, and having to grade diverse subjective
projects on an objective level, I think that there are some ways the
point system could be tightened.  First of all there should not be any
deduction for lack of creativity.  There should also be no deduction
for lack of exactness of re-creation.  If I were judging, or "grading"
unrelated things, I would have a basic list of what I was looking for,
such as documentation, method, and so forth, and then have possible
"bonus points" for creativity or exactitude.  If some piece is an
effort at exact duplication, then the creativity would come in as what
modern materials were used for the ancient ones, and why they were
chosen over something else. 
    I have found many competitions to be run by individuals either
with not much experience in judging, not much experience in whatever
art-form that is represented, or too much for one person to take in
all in an afternoon.  Sometimes we have very qualified judges that are
so over-loaded that they are unable after several hours to be
objective about whether they have on matching socks, let alone a
plethora of unrelated art and sciences projects.
