Get Your Students Hired
I get many questions about developing good rubrics. There are some common mistakes individuals make which lead to flaws and the improper design and use of rubrics. Here are a few pitfalls. Stay away from them!
There are other pitfalls, but avoid these common ones.
These tips are very useful. I particularly agree with your advice to ensure the student learning outcomes are clearly aligned with the criteria rubric. Students have a difficult time as it is deciphering what's in it for them. Ultimately the rubric communicates quality of their work and the standards by which said work is measured. Tstyn
Tena, Thank you, this is very helpful as I develop the lesson plan for a new class. I'm at the part where I am developing the rubric. Bill
What role if any should rubrics play in evaluating institutional effectiveness? This goes beyond the traditional use of rubrics as a platform to standardize grading across a curriculum but interested in how else rubrics can be used to enhance the academic efforts of an institution. Thanks for any feedback you can provide.
