Advantages of Rubrics

Carla, The rubrics have to be clear to help students understand the expectations. Without this understanding, they cannot reach the objectives. Thanks!

Advantages of Rubrics

Carla, The key words you used are "soundly constructed." This is essential and it's important to make sure the criteria are well-written to ensure this construction. Thanks!

Advantages of Rubrics

Edward , Keep in mind that checklists are not always rubrics. Rubrics have criteria at various levels to demonstrate competence. Sometimes checklists are simply designed to check off whether things have been accomplished, but not to a certain degree of competence. Thanks for your posting.

Teaching Online Course

Alan, Important list. Providing content in a variety of ways is essential. And, the more we understand and get to know our students, the better we can do this. Connecting the assignments/projects to the objectives, as you said, is also essential. Nice job.
