Mistakes in Making Rubrics

RICARDO, Agreed. It's worth the time to make a good rubric and make sure the objectives are connected. I actually list the objective in the rubric so the students understand why they are doing what they are doing. Thanks!

Rubric Role

Patricia, Good explanation. We, as instructors, should use the rubric as a tool to develop those criteria to make sure the assessment is tied to the learning objectives. And, you're right, giving the rubric prior to the assignment is extremely beneficial to students. Thanks!

Generational Roles

Bonnie, You are right. We have to think about quality education for all students. It should matter what generation or what learning disability they may have. Thanks for your input.

Pattern of Communication

Bonnie, I like that you use the term "real person." So many times online students feel like a number and that some "computerized robot" is in charge. ;-) The "person" effect has great impact. Thanks for bringing that up.

Pattern of Communication

Carol, When the students understand the expectations, they can more easily move forward in the communication or toward the objectives. Timely communication enhances this as well. Nice job.
