<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I find the following good questions to ask when designing a rubric,</p> <p>To ensure rubric reliability, instructors should ask themselves the following questions as they are developing assessment rubrics and, if possible, test and re-test the rubric prior to implementation.</p> <ul> <li> <p>Are all scoring categories well defined?&nbsp;</p> </li> <li> <p>Are all scoring categories connected to learning outcomes?&nbsp;</p> </li> <li> <p>Are all scoring categories associated with clear criteria?</p> </li> <li> <p>Are there clear differences between the criteria (i.e., expert, intermediate, novice)?</p> </li> <li> <p>Would two different instructors using the rubric arrive at the same score when assessing student work?</p> </li> </ul>
