WHY USE RUBRICS • “This is clearly a B”, or “This is obviously an A” • “I’m making the same comment on multiple assignments” • “I have to write lots of comments, or I get too many questions and grade challenges, I find myself justifying the grade the student earned” • “I want to offer meaningful comments in a timely manner, and do it quickly” • “Grading is so time consuming”

GENERAL RUBRIC TIPS • One concept per row • Describe the words that can be misunderstood • Use your past feedback concepts in your rubric • Additional feedback can be used sparingly, if any • Use a range of scores for the quality levels • Each criteria/element does not have to be worth the same points. Points can be determined based on the value you put on each criteria.
