ASSIGNED TASK

Name: LUCILE A. TUNDAG

A. Assigned task #1
1. What is a Rubric?
- A rubric is a scoring guide used to evaluate performance, a product, or a project. It has three parts:
1) performance criteria; 2) rating scale; and 3) indicators. For you and your students, the rubric
defines what is expected and what will be assessed.

2. Advantages/Disadvantages of Using the Rubric

Advantages of Using Rubrics

For Instructors:

 Rubrics can reduce time spent grading by allowing instructors to refer to a substantive description
without writing long comments.
 Rubrics can help instructors more clearly identify strengths and weaknesses across an entire class and
adjust their instruction appropriately.
 Rubrics can be impartial.
 Scoring can be prescribed by the rubric and not the instructor’s predispositions towards students.
 Rubrics allow consistent assessment
 Reproducible scoring by a single individual is enhanced.
 Reproducible scoring by multiple individuals can be enhanced with training.
 Greater precision and reliability among scored assessments.
 Rubrics can reduce the uncertainty which can accompany grading, thus discouraging complaints about
grades.
 Most assessments do not have an answer key
 Rubrics can provide that key.
 Rubrics allow instructors to organize and clarify their thoughts.
 They tell what is important enough to assess.
 They allow comparison of lesson objectives to what is assessed.
 Instruction can be redesigned to meet objectives with assessed items.
 Rubrics can help instructors teach.
 They focus instructors on what they intend to assess.
 They allow educators to organize their thoughts.
 They can provide a scaffold with which the students can learn.

For Students:

 They allow for better peer feedback on student graded work.

 They allow more accurate peer and self-assessment by students.
 Rubrics document and communicate grading procedures.
 Students can compare their assignment to the rubric to see why they received their grade.
 Students can use rubrics as a guide to completing an assignment. They help students with the learning
process and can increase the quality of student work.
 Non-scoring rubrics can encourage students to self-assess performance.

Disadvantages of Using Rubrics

 Rubrics may not fully convey all information instructor wants students to know. If educators use the
rubric to tell students what to put in an assignment, then that may be all they put. It may also be all that
they learn. Multiple assessments are useful ways around this disadvantage, as well as directed
instruction or discussion coupled with the assignment.
 They may limit imagination if students feel compelled to complete the assignment strictly as outlined in
the rubric. List creativity as a criteria if you wish students to be more adventuresome in their
assignments.
 Rubrics may lead to anxiety if they include too many criteria. Students may feel that there is just too
much involved in the assignment. Good rubrics keep it simple.
 Reliability can be a factor as more individuals use the rubric. Especially when used for peer assessment
among untrained users, the reproducibility and reliability will be reduced.
 They take time to develop, test, evaluate, and update.

3. The Importance of Using the Rubric

4. Types of Rubrics with their advantages and disadvantages

Advantages of Holistic Rubrics

 Emphasis on what the learner is able to demonstrate, rather than what s/he cannot do.
 Saves time by minimizing the number of decisions raters make.
 Can be applied consistently by trained raters increasing reliability.

Disadvantages of Holistic Rubrics

 Does not provide specific feedback for improvement.

 When student work is at varying levels spanning the criteria points it can be difficult to select the single
best description.
 Criteria cannot be weighted

Advantages of Analytic Rubrics

 Provide useful feedback on areas of strength and weakness.

 Criterion can be weighted to reflect the relative importance of each dimension.

Disadvantages of Analytic Rubrics

 Takes more time to create and use than a holistic rubric.

 Unless each point for each criterion is well-defined raters may not arrive at the same score
 Developmental Rubrics
 Developmental rubrics are a subset of analytic trait rubrics.

5. Some important details about rubrics.

- Rubrics are multidimensional sets of scoring guidelines that can be used to provide consistency in
evaluating student work. They spell out scoring criteria so that multiple teachers, using the same
rubric for a student's essay, for example, would arrive at the same score or grade.
