Garry, Right on. Keeping all of these factors in mind when thinking out the development of your course is essential. And, it's OK to be redundant! Ha! Thanks for your input.

Involving Students in Rubric Development

David, I have the students use the rubric to self- and peer-evaluate before I evaluate them. This helps them think about whether they left something out of if they could do better before I provide a final evaluation. Many times i then get feedback from students on how to make the rubric better or it provides an opportunity for me to clairfy something they don't understand. Thanks for you input.

Resources for Developing Rubrics

David, Isn't Google a good thing. ;-) There are many rubrics already developed. Just make sure you, as you stated, do include your specific criteria. I'm glad you shared that specific statement with us. Thanks for your input.

Mistakes in Making Rubrics

David, Correct. The development of rubrics should take some time. The instructor (and at times students) should review the assignment/project/learning outcomes/etc. to ensure proper alignment. Thanks for bringing up that important information!

Using Rubrics

Janelle, Don't forget that they help the studnets understand the project/assignment more and should be used to help them understand the expectations/learning outcomes. Thanks!
