This article talks about the new buzzword in education, which is relevancy. It talks about how instead of giving students math problems, give them a project instead and don't call it a problem. For instance they talk about having students design a swimming pool for everyone, young, old, disabled, etc. It talks about not giving them the criteria, but instead make them research it. It also says that the rubric is where all your demands of the student should be listed. Like if you want their calculations or a graph, it should be stated in the rubric.
