I like the idea of general rubrics that can then be modified for specific assessments.
This module helped me expand my knowledge on rubrics and their purposes. It broadened my understanding of not only the advantages but also the drawbacks of the rubrics.
Rubrics are not only a tool for instructors to ease grading but is also a means for student to improve their quality of work.
Rubrics are time comsuming indeed!
I have been using rubrics for quite some time; however, this class is going to help me make even better rubrics. So far we have learned about the different types of rubrics and thier advantages and disadvantages.
To pay close attention to the type of rubric created and to ensure that it meets the evaluative standards in the class. There are different types of rubrics and it is important to select the best type for the class and the learning content.
Rubrics are great feedback, but may take time to curtail to the individual student(s)
I already use rubrics in my classroom for written work.

I used rubrics before a lot but didn't know about different categories and how each of them can be used.

Hi Community - Excited to be here. I'm learning more about rubrics and how they can be a helpful tool in a number of ways. Specifically, they serve as an affirmation to a student when the information is correct and help redirect learning for incorrect information. Likewise, they help a student define "success" so they can achieve exemplary work.
Using a rubric makes it easy to do your grading and student can see upfront the expectations.
I use rubrics all the time, but a good reminder that they are not self-explanatory to the students and no matter how specific, should be explained.
I think that both online and not online teaching, the use of rubrics improves the students' learning and teaching efficiency. However, for this to be the best practice, a rubric must be very well prepared. Otherwise, students can use it to take advantage of the grading.
Rubric's can be an advantage an many times. Rubrics help with seeing what needs to be done in that specific assignment and it also helps to make sure that there will be no mistakes made. But, it is also a disadvantage because it is time consuming.
I use a rubric for the three essays in my English Reading & Composition course. I was thinking of making a simple one for the annotations but can see how rubrics can be limiting for creative type classes.
Rubrics can give both instructor and students the parameters for successful completion of the assisgment. Trouble is that it may limit responses that only respond to the letter of the rubric.
