Rubrics
 Rubrics can either be structured for analytic
or holistic (global) assessment
 Analytic assessment means various elements
of the task are identified and each is rated and
given the desired weight. It is useful to
diagnose students strengths and learning
needs. Greater reliability and validity are apt
to be achieved.

Rubrics
 Holistic assessment is less detailed in terms of the
number of components and the description of each
component. It only needs to be detailed enough to
ensure consistent ratings. It is usually adopted when
the performance to be assessed is more than the sum
of its parts (e.g. teaching performance, public
speaking)
 Both types of assessment can be used together to
judge a performance, i.e. analytic assessment guide
the evaluator’s attention to relevant matters on which
to base the global/holistic evaluation.
