I didnt know what a rubric was and how to utilize them I know have a better understanding of them and will be able to use them effectively.
Rubrics are important for establishing expectations.
It is a good reminder to think of creating rubrics not as something that takes more time away; rather, it gives more time in the long run.
Knowing the rubrics for the course and explaining them to the students is of highest importance. Design of rubrics is time-consuming, however, when done correctly, provides clarification for both student and instructor on where points are gained vs. lost for any particular assignment.
Creative effective rubrics will help the student and teacher to develop achievable goals that can be measured using the rubric (so long as it aligns with course objectives).
What really resonated with me was that rubrics can be time consuming, but personally well worth the time to develop. When I have used them...I use trial and error to make improvements to my rubrics till I have factored all situations and circumstances.
Rubrics can be time consuming to make.
Rubrics are helpful information to guide the student's understanding what is expected of them in an assignment
In response to the use of rubrics. Rubrics are a multi-purpose scoring guide for assessing student products and performances.

After reading the material rubrics help to provide structure and guidance for students. It would minimize the uncertainty related to what is expected and allow them to finish their assignments with more confidence in knowing they are meeting the expectations of the assignments
La rúbrica es una herramienta importante para el docente, ya que le facilita articular los objetivos y el proceso de evaluación de una tarea. Mientras que al estudiante le permite comprender cómo serán evaluados y le facilitan elaborar un producto de calidad.
I use rubrics usually with analytical scheme. I find very useful to link the personal experience with theory, and I demand that criteria from the student work. 90% of students usually understand it.

Rubrics are useful tools that can help students understand their assignments differently. I look at rubrics as teaching guides.
Rubrics are typically used to score student performance on defined criteria and levels of quality, or intellectual or skills development.
Rubtrics help make course expectations and criteria under which work will be evaluated clear. This allows students to better understand what is expected of them and allow for more objective assessment of their work.
The use of rubics in the classroom has been very rewarding for the students. The student goes over the instruction and guidelines for the rubics and then knows the expectation criteria. It has made the student in the classroom understand the expectation.
Rubrics are both simple and complex. It is difficult to anticipate all the situational variances that may be assessed by the rubric.
The creation of rubrics can be time consumoing, but they can be very helpful to instructors and students if created correctly.
