Several points need to be included in a good rubric. These include: des the criteria reflect the objectives of the course, are the decriptives well stated and fair, and does the rubric allow for feedback to let the student know what was well done and what needs improvement.

A lot must be considered when desgining a rubric.It must contain all of the nexessary content of the assignment, must be understandable and clear, must be practical and must be fair for all students. Building a rubric is an ongoing process and continually needs to be accessed and revised.

Self and peer-assessment may be a valuable tool to help students evaluate their work as well as the work of peers. Detailed feedback and time to self reflect are important parts of the learning process.

There are different types of rubrics including: holistic, analytic, general and task-specific. While necessary, rubrics can have sme disadvantages which include the fact that they can be time-consuming, can limit creativtity, and artistic work may be difficult to access using a rubric.

I learned that there are 4 aspects of the evaluation process: reactions, learning, transfer, and results.  Reactions indicate if the students enjoyed the course; leanring indicates how well the students learned the material; transfer indicates how applciable the material was to future outcomes; and results indicate how successful students were in the course.

Testing methods are exremely important to accurately access learning and if the course objectives are being met. Properly worded questions and a combination of different types of questions are needed, including subjective questions (e.g. essays). Feedback is important to explain to a student if a answer was incorrect and why.

I learned that summative assessment is very important to access that students have learned/comprehended and can link what they have learned to real-world applications. I think it is important for students to realize that what they are learning has value in the real world. If students make this connection, I think they will be able to take more of a personal responsibility for their education.
 
 

Useful information: use of rubrics to evaluate rubrics (meta rubrics)—great for calibration sessions with instructors. 

Examples on internet, LMS, AI, along with sites. How to design good and fair rubrics.

Moving away from using numbers in rubric. Including self assessments for the student. Designing clear criteria. The value of rubrics and common mistakes when designing rubrics. All of these areas I found useful.
