<p>Hi Terri,</p> <p>I agree that rubrics with prescribed associated scores are often difficult to apply effectively to student performance. I've always enjoyed having a part in selecting and even creating rubrics. It's not easy to use cookie cutter rubrics when dealing with varying skill levels, learning styles and desired learning outcomes. It is a challenge that I feel, we all face as educators whether serving as instructor or administrator. An idea would be to allow instructors more involvement in establishing department and instituational wide rubrics.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Paula</p>
