Rubrics need to be set up in a way that it is fair to all students

Point values need to be assigned to rubrics.

Hard skills and soft skills get combined more then I originally thought

I am going to try formative rubrics for drafts. I think this might help with student responsibility in the revision process, thus taking some weight off me to be the "corrector" or editor. 

I have created many rubrics but have not properly vetted them before using them. I love the idea of testing. When I graded research papers, I used to put them in piles based on a holistic approach. This would be a great way to test a rubric for accuracy. I also need to take out ranges in the criteria unless I am able to quantify the differences between point values.  

I have found that the students will mirror the language I used in the rubric but NOT be able to give specific feedback.  An example would be: "thesis is clear" but not be able to find, highlight, or copy and paste the thesis. 

I want to make my rubrics more analytical to make the feedback more specific. Many of the rubrics we use in the courses I teach are already constructed for me. I do find this limits creativity.  

En este módulo aprendí la importancia de diseñar evaluaciones en línea alineadas con los objetivos de aprendizaje y que ofrezcan retroalimentación significativa a los estudiantes. Aplicaré lo aprendido desarrollando instrumentos que midan la comprensión, fomenten la reflexión y brinden retroalimentación inmediata en mis cursos.

The more you can write to a student that is individualistic, the more the student will believe you took the time to grade the assessment.  

Having a group that you can monitor and evaluate as you are creating or changing a rubric will help withe their self-assessment when the class is over.
