Make sure the rubric measures what you want them to measure and that you use the appropriate type for the assignment. In addition, create assignments that allow for more complex thinking and problem-solving, and allow students to use these rubrics to self-reflect and to help their classmates.
It is imperative to create rubrics that are focused on student learning and course objectives.
When creating rubrics do not add to many objectives. There are different components to a rubric and are essential to assessing students progress.
With rubrics you can assess students' work accurately and consistently whether as a performance, process, or product.
Rubrics helps evaluate reponse in objuective way.
I am going to look into student led rubrics!
Doing self and peer assessments is a great practice!
This module helped me understand the different components of rubrics.
The most interesting part of this module was the mistakes in rubrics during the designing. This implies planning and laying ground work for rubrics is very important.
I have learned how important 'Learner Centered' assessment is.
Rubrics allow for rich collaborations between student and instructors.
I found the componentsa of rubics important. Also the criteria to be used in a rubics was good information.
Anything to get students involved.
Student can assess their own work or that of others.
I tend to have a range of points for each criterion and now I am rethinking - does that make it too subjective? On the other hand, there are often "perfect" and "close to perfect" results that would seem to be different and need the range of points. I hate to pull 5 points just because of one small error.
The success of using rubrics depends on the thought and planning that goes into creating them. Consider the student, the subject as well as the desired outcomes.
Through the use of rubrics, I would like to encourage students to self-assess and reflect on their learning successes and short-comings. I would like to see rubric feedback be a vehicle for improving study skills.
I learned that creating a rubric takes time and effort so that the student knows what they should do. Rubrics are meant to help and guide the students.
It may be difficult to determine if, as an instructor, you are more interested in the final product or in the process of getting there. The rubric must align with the outcomes you wish to achieve.
Someting I really like about rubrics, and this module talked about it, was how rubrics can be used for self-assessment and peer-assement. That way students can see for themselves what needs to be improved and can use it among their peers.
In this section, I learned that self and peer assessment can create constructive criticism and motivation to improve.
