Assessment
Using Rubrics to Assess Student Work
Description:
Rubrics make grading criteria clearer to faculty and students, students turn in better work, and feedback is more objective and consistent. In this workshop, we explain how to develop and use rubrics. We will also introduce iRubric, a tool available within Sakai. If there is interest, a follow-up session can provide hands on with iRubric.
Learning Goals:
After successfully completing this workshop you will be able to:
- Identify and describe elements of a rubric
- Develop a rubric for use with low or high stakes assessment
- Implement rubrics in your assessment practices
