Making a good rubric can make all of the difference in the success of my students on some of these assignments. The biggest challenge is getting students to utilize the references provided to them. I try to make the rubric so that if used correctly, the student cannot fail. There are always those that choose not to follow or use the rubric.

Comment on Angel Martinez's- Much of this information seems straight forward, however there are people that would stiil not feel confuden                                     

Asking for student feedback on the chosen assessment tools is a very important component to successful evaluation of a course. 

Over the past 13 years that I have been an instructor, I feel that my EQ has grown exponentially. I now exhibit a lot more grace and patience with my students and coworkers than I did in the beginning. This makes for a better rapport between myself and peers/students and I feel more in control and effective;)

Being able to interact with your peers is so important for a healthy work environment! 

It is always good to have multiple ways to evaluate the effectiveness of your online courses!

Providing meaningful feedback is imperative to the students learning and retention of the material being taught.

It is important to say what you mean and mean what you say! Have integrity as we are also teaching our students professionalism:) If we are unable to directly help our students then we can definitely assist them in getting with someone within our institution that can! Take the extra step to make a student feel seen and understood!

Building a strong rapport of trust with our students is necessary for our institution to thrive and for our students to be successful.

It is important to give accurate and precise information to students and if you do not know the answer, refer the student to someone that can provide this information so we are not misleading our future students.
