as some of you know I'm making Origami-tutorials on Youtube . In my Videos I try to say first what severity the model has.
Now my problem:
I want a grading-model in that does to things:
1: every folder (knowing the system) can grade a model accurate
1: one can tell by the grade if one is skilled enough to do the model.
Is there a universal grading system for Origami?
For example: Let's say the Crane is "easy". But compared with some pure-land origami you also could call it "intermediate".
The often use system of "very easy" => "easy" => "intermediate"=> "high intermediate" => "hard" => "very hard" is vague.
Too vague for my taste.
What I came up for my videos was a scale from 1 to 10 , low numbers being easy and high numbers being hard. I set the traditional Crane as a reference-point and gave it the rating (3/10).
So everything easier than a Crane got a rating below three and everything harder got a higher rating. You get the idea.
But I'm still not satisfied with that system because it is still a matter of my test how much higher or lower I rate different models.
And now to my new attempt of a solution:
My 1-10 System has to major advantages compared to the "adjective-system":
- it is more precise by having much more grades (you also can rate a model 3.6)
it has a commonly known reference-point: the crane
What I came up with:
I called it universal Origami Grading System (UOGS)
The System also has Numbers.
The Crane is still a reference-point.
The System will have a table of criteria in Order to rate a model.
example:
the model contains a closed-sink (If yes: rating is at least X)
the model is pureland origami (If yes: the rating is lower than X)
the CP consists of less 30 creases/lines (If yes: the rating is lower than x)
tissue-foil is necessary to fold the model. (If yes: rating at least X)
(each X stands for a number)
What are you guys thinking about my Idea?
Is anyone interested in helping me to define the table of criteria? (replacing all the X's with actual numbers)
