Rubrics can be used in the lab to assess both completion of the tasks and how well those tasks were carried out.

Rubrics are a valuable tools with lab assessments, also.
I think more student-led feedback within the lab itself might be useful. We have some open-ended postlabs for student reflection etc. but I am wondering if more discussion based feedback would be helpful in the context of lab.
Develop a rubrics to instruct students how they will be graded and what the instructor is looking for
rubic tool is a great way to keep track of learning developments and be able to show students their progress
Rubrics are a very helpful way to evaluate student performance. It also allows them to have a fair metric to which they can measure their own performance.
When you are working on your grading rubric, the expected outcome for the assignment should be clear to the students.
I use in class demonstrations, videos, and shop/lab demonstrations/student assignments to get a student group to the point of assessment. I try to cover all the bases, so no one gets the short straw. Grading within a rubric on my part is assistted by knowing the student's total ability.
lab assessments can be challenging but are the best for education. many students struggle with the large amount of knowledge expected. clear guidelines help reduce confusion, anxiety, and unpreparedness.
Most of my formative assessments are simply questions and discussion during lectures and/or questions at the end of the session to make sure we covered our learning goals, but I have thought about having a short time during the class where they can reflect on what they've learned and discuss during the session. We essentially do have some competency-based assessment where they work together to practice certain sections of written assignments they turn at the end of class (essentially a portfolio).
Learning to assessing each student and reading the room can help with student's retention levels.
Competency-based assessments in my field and class setting is done through "affective assessment", labs with worksheets to be graded on their knowledge of such. Utilizing different assessments give the instructor and students a clear understanding of course content retention.
The grading rubric is a valuable tool to use in competency based education.
theres 3 things the are essential of been a teacher
*Teaching *explaining *grading
Evaluation can be a struggle for me. I tend to be a little off rubric with my evaluations. I need to be more consistent with my evaluations for an educational environment. I am at times a little soft on evaluations due to a student's "situation". Especially when I "know what they mean".
rubric is definitely a tool I will use
Using rubrics in a competency based shop setting allow teachers and students to focus on many different skills that align to the three domains of Bloom's. Assigning descriptor and points gives students an understanding of the expectations and provides the students with feedback on their progress.
Utilizing the rubric to objectively grade and allow students to anticipate their grades.
In this module I learned that assessing students understanding plays a big role in being able to apply the learned knowledge of the material
