Rubrics cover various aspects of student work, including visual, written, and oral
components.
Instructors use rubrics for overall grades, class participation, and marking
assignments.
Benefits of Rubric-Based Assessments:
Rubrics guide students during revisions and drafting, enhancing learning outcomes.
Confidence and Fairness:
Develop a list of criteria that reflect the learning objectives and that describe the
tasks, behaviors, or elements that students are expected to demonstrate in their
product or performance. Select criteria to match your assignment or learning activity.
Step 3: Describe Levels of Quality for Each Criterion
Describe the best and worst levels of quality for each criterion, and then fill in the
middle levels to complete the range of performance levels.
Use a grid format with columns and rows, listing objectives or expected performance
in the first column and descriptions of various levels of performance in the next
columns.
Step 5: Add a Descriptor or Numerical Score to Each Performance Level
Before using formally, verify the rubric by using it to evaluate previous student work.
Or practice with students to determine if the rubric is clear, accurate, and covers all
potential performances. Ask for student feedback on the usefulness and fairness of the
rubric
Step 7: Share the Rubric with Students
Before students begin an assigned activity that will be assessed, share the rubric with
them to clarify what is expected in their work. Consider involving students in
developing or evaluating a rubric.
Step 8: Assess Students’ Work
Use the rubric to guide you in assessing how well students performed, or their level of
mastery, in doing the learning activity or assignment.
Step 9: Revise the Rubric
Keep track of the strengths and weaknesses of the rubric as you use it to assess
student work. Revise to build in detail and improve communication.
