The few apps that do exist, lack the features necessary for effectivelygrading technical reports or are poorly designed to take advantage of the touch gestures. Thispaper describes the inception, development, and key design features of an iPad app, evaluA+,that facilitates rubric-based grading of both written and oral assignments. evaluA+ is specificallytargeted for grading essays, technical reports, and oral

IntroductionPolymeric films are used in numerous applications where low sliding friction surfaces arerequired, e.g., high speed packaging equipment and low-friction tape wraps. Typical methods ofreducing the apparent sliding friction of polymeric surfaces are: (a) the use of liquid lubricantssuch as silicone oil or erucamide, (b) powdered solid lubricants such micro-sized starch or talc,and (c) fluoropolymers additives1, 2, 3. Studies on modifying the coefficient of friction (COF) byadding different chemicals have been previously reported1, 2. Such chemical moieties arepartially transferred from the film to other surfaces upon contact, and may contaminate thosesurfaces. Therefore, in this study, the sliding friction of micro-textured isotactic
