Mistakes in Making Rubrics

Daron, You are right. Too many or poor criteria can hinder learning instead of improve learning. Good point!

Using Rubrics

Daron, You are right. The more we lose the F2F component, the more we need to think carefully about our communication with students. The rubric is a communication tool to help students understand the expectations as well. Thanks!

Using Rubrics

John , Love the phrase "foundation of expectations." That says it all. We have to all be on the same page with expectations so the students can do the work and we can help them succeed. I like your model answers approach. Thanks!

Rubric Role

Aaron, Yes, the students benefit from the rubrics, but the instructors do as well. Rubrics help us be more objective in grading and as we write the criteria, it makes us think carefully about the assignments/expectations we set. Thanks!

Generational Roles

ron , Right on. If the students don't know how to use the technology, communication tool or whatever, they won't be as successful. We have to help them with these things to help them succeed. Thanks!

Generational Roles

Aaron, I am glad you brought up the fact that all students should be treated equal. No favoritism is a good rule to follow in assignments and communication. Thanks!

Pattern of Communication

ron , A pattern happens over time, so it does take time to communicate effectively. Each course and all students are different so we try different things some times each semester. Keep it up!
