Using Rubrics to Assess Student Work

Description:

Rubrics make grading criteria clearer to faculty and students, allow students to turn in better work, and lead to feedback that is more objective and consistent. In this workshop, we explain how to develop and use rubrics.

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
