I chose this class because I wanted to learn more about Rubric's. So far, there has been A Lot of Great information. In this class module, I learned about the mistakes people make in creating a course rubric. A rubric needs to be well though out and planned. It can't be done; "whip up something." The rubric shouldn't have too much criteria in it either. Too much criteria only confuses students.
The most important part of developing rubrics is to plan carefully and spend sufficient time developing them.
Students not only lean from the lesson snd assignments . They can learn from an instructor critiquing their preformance , student discussion ,groups and assessing themselves.
Rubrics provide an opportunity for reflection. Self- and peer-assessments provide a good opportunity for learning.
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.
