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. This workshop focuses on how to develop and use rubrics with both low- and high-stakes assessments.

Instructors who are currently teaching or considering teaching a College Seminar (CSEM) course are especially encouraged to attend.
A four-part series focused on the theory and practice of designing courses to enhance student learning. Session 2 is devoted to assessment and exam design.
