SPUNKI Rubric is an acronym that asks students to answer six questions in paragraph format,

 

S (SURPRISING)  “I was also surprised to learn that professional people have just as much difficulty making a decision as an ordinary person would.  I also found it a little scary to know that a doctor or lawyer can make a wrong decision.”

 

P (PUZZLING)  “What is puzzling is the problem of contemporary violence and aggression.  How do you get out of their minds (adults and children) that aggression and violence [are] okay?”

 

U (USEFUL) “Although many times unwarranted optimism can lead to bad decision making, many times emotions can be useful in decision making.  For example, if I need time off from work, I will not ask my boss on Monday, which is the most stressful and busy of days during the week.  Instead, I will pick a different day to ask.”

 

N (NEW) “What I found interesting was how additional alternatives can be found by seeking disconfirming evidence.  In other words, look for things not in favor of your decision for a better decision.  This information was NEW to me and useful.”

 

K (KNEW IT ALREADY) “After seeing theories in print you start to think about them, even though you were aware of them, [you] never actually thought them through.  This has happened to me many times while reading this book.”

 

I (INTERESTING)  “It was also interesting to read about one’s optimism resulting in poor decisions.  I can understand how this happens, but never really thought about it until I saw it in print.”
