A rubric with twenty separate criteria (“questions”) would beoverhwelming for an instructor to fill out for each piece of work submitted by the class,but the length might be pretty reasonable for students who are asked to review only twoto four peers. The detail in the rubric serves to draw reviewers’ attention to aspects of thework they might have missed. Ratings [Each has a dropdown to assign score, plus a text box where comments can be

, NY.Students are asked to reflect upon the “master list” of 3P impacts. For the campus parkingexamples covered in class (small-scale projects) only a few impacts are likely to be significant. Itbecomes readily apparent that many more will apply to these larger projects, makingsustainability evaluations more challenging which further addresses the third lesson objective.When concluding the in-class lesson, it is important to re-state for students that quantifying the3Ps is difficult, especially considering multiple perspectives. As is commonly done withalternatives analysis for large-scale infrastructure projects, meetings with stakeholders can beconducted to gather input.

ideas of existence (that something physically existsin the world) and essence (the underlying rationale for a thing’s state of being) have becomedecoupled. This decoupling, i.e. disconnect of artefacts from the natural world, has led tomeans being separated from ends leading to a crisis for civilization (MacIntyre, 2009). Itmay be that our disconnect from the essence of existence triggers a need for control that isexpressed through mastering technology. Feenberg framed technology dialectically on twoaxes: (1) whether technology reflects or stands separate from human values, and (2) whethertechnological developments can be managed by humans or are ultimately incontrollable(Feenberg, 2006; Mitcham, 1994).
