Rubrics are key components of such assessment. The key components of assessment that enhances learning include clear criteria, frequent and informative feedback, and self-assessment opportunities. Through student-centered assessment, students become the users of assessment results. As a result, student-centered assessments can serve as instruction. feedback.
Students can take part in creation and they can assess each other. That is a great way for them to learn from each other.
they have many possible positive results.
The outcome to be be assessed by a rubric could be a performance, a process or a product. An analyticrubric would be used to assess a process, providing criteria for each step, and a holistic rubric should be used to assess a product. The rubric should be clear and fair, and give the opportunity for feedback from teach and peers and from self-reflection. In this way, the rubric might serve to highlight areas of strength and areas for development, and to show talents and learning styles. This could lead to use as a diagnostic assessment tool or might serve as an instructional tool.
The learning outcome should be clearly indicated on the rubric. This is something I will practice to help guide my students to the desired outcome.
I have rubrics on everyone of my assignment, but they may not be helping the students to grow.
Rubrics help the instructor simplify grading and ensure consistency. Self and peer assessment is helpful in class to encourage student's competency and self relfection of peer assessment. Instructor can assess with trade expertise and encourage value of each item in rubric and how that will be helpful in recalling information for exams.

The concept of self-assessment and peer assessment through use of rubrics is interesting. I agree with self-assessment as students develop their assignments and perhaps do rough drafts. I would hesitate to use peer assessment early in the course but would prefer to assess the ability of these students to interact and evaluate one another in healthy, constructive ways before utilizing peer assessment.
I have learned that putting a name to something I have been doing for years can be quite confusing.
Rubrics are judgments by a teacher. What one teacher finds the most important may be a minor component to another. Is it better to do it right or do it neeat? Will a teacher give or take points on how a student came up with the right answer? Rubrics are not something you can just throw together.
Issues when using rubrics can arise from them either not being developed correctly or not being explained correctly. If you can't look at it and see exactly what is expected, then it is ineffective and can cause more harm than good. I do have projects that are Pass/Fail (either it all works or it doesn't work) because that is more indicative of the real life application of the material, but I also use rubrics for evaluating projects where it can be broken down into clear parts.
Rubrics provide for consistant grading.
Student centered peer and self assessment tools help provide the students with benchmarks beofre submitting the final product to the instructor.
Self and peer assessments using a rubric is useful in providing formative assessments to students. This sounds like a very interesting concept that I want to try to incorporate in my courses as some future time. I appreciate the value of using student perspective in the assessment process.
Rubrics should not contain too many criterion or grade a quantitative behavior. It should be based on a certain learning objective rather than on how many times a student makes eye contact or uses a certain term.
In my experience self-assessments and peer-assessments are challenging requests for students, mainly because they do not have the acumen to provide the necessary feedback to succeed in assignments. For peer reviews of rough drafts I always provide an extensive checklist of criteria that I will use to grade students' final drafts. Every semester there is a group of students that go through the motions during the peer reviews, so they are unpleasantly surprised when final drafts are returned to them.
