Involving Students in Rubric Development

Michael, Yes, it will. Students have to analyze the learning outcomes and how the rubric/project/assignments lead to the criteria in the rubric.

Mistakes in Making Rubrics

Alaina, You definitely have to set the rubric up with essential criteria to assess what you need to assess in relation to the learning outcomes. I rarely find a predetermined rubric that meets my needs. You can have combo rubrics. The combination of what you need can be outlined effectively in a rubric, just make sure it leads to the assessment of the learning outcomes.

Advantages of Rubrics

Michael, I like that you help students understand where they need improvement and how your feedback on one rubric can lead to improvement on the next assignment. Nice job.

Variations of Evaluations

Andrew, Right on. One key word you used was "linkages." We have to connect the dots to get the students to understand the expectations/outcomes/content/etc. Thanks!

Mitchell, You are right. Timely feedback that helps the students improve is essential. Using the rubric and providing additional comments with constructive criticism is helpful. Thanks!

Developing Meaningful Feedback

Andrew, Yes, we do need that connection with the learning outcomes. Any time a students says, "Why are we doing this?" or "This is stupid." I stop and say, "Maybe I haven't explained the learning outcomes so that they are clear." Everything we do should lead back to achieving those outcomes. Thanks!
