Rubric Role

Sandy , I am glad you mentioned that rubrics help the instructor as well as the students. I like your phrase "informative feedback." Without it being informative, it's just words. Thanks!

Generational Roles

Sandy and Dalene, Thanks for continuing the conversation. I like to hear that others are continuing to emphasize professional communication, not texting language, in the discussion boards as well. Nice job.

Variations of Evaluations

Marjorie, Me too. I always ask students to write at least one comment on what I could do better to make the course better. It's good to get that feedback. . .and they are honest! ;-)

Deana, Excellent point. It always depends. It may also depend on our familiarity with various types of evaluations and our experiences with evaluations. Thanks for your input.

Variations of Evaluations

Nicole, Yes, one choice is difficult. It's good to have a variety of evaluations to get more information that we can work with. Anything that gives us that overall picture you talked about. Thanks!

Developing Meaningful Feedback

Deana, Rubrics help provide meaningful feedback as long at the criteria are good and we also provide individualized comments. Both are helpful. Good point in your last sentence. Students need to understand what they don't understand. ;-) Thanks for your input.

Developing Meaningful Feedback

Nicole, A fine balance indeed this is! It's always good to start positive and build into the constructive criticism and end on a positive note (sandwich approach). The key is to help the students improve. Nice job.

Developing Meaningful Feedback

Marjorie, Excellent. We want to be positive, but constructive. That is for sure. Connecting our feedback to the objectives will help the students understand the expectations more clearly and work toward achieving them. Thanks.
