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.

The rubric can enable students to better understand learning goals. I like the concept of a rubric enabling students to improve the quality of their course work, while they learn.
In this section, I have learned the advantages and disadvantages of using a rubric. The advantages I learned include the fact that rubrics encourage learning, it creates consistency and it encourages instructor and peer dialogue around learning.
The disadvantages are that it is time-consuming and can limit creativity.
Students are likely to perform better with less anxiety if they clearly understand the grading expectations. An effective rubric does this; however, it takes a thoughtful analysis of the criteria to ensure that it is appropriate for the assignment to create a meaningful rubric. If not, the rubric become subjective and can cause more frustration for the student and the instructor.
