I was unaware there are websites you can access for rubrics. I plan to research that a bit more:)
To build and create rubrics you need to determine the purpose of the assignment, establish clear criteria, determine the scoring method/sheet, and describe descriptors. And lastly, while creating rubrics we have to be sensitive to the language used.

Rubrics should be made fair and weighted reasonably for the components of the assignments.
Las rúbricas se componen de una escala con descriptores y criterios. También pueden incluirse estándares e indicadores. Una escala indica los puntos que se asignarán al calificar la calidad de un trabajo.
larity within a rubric should help describe the dimensions of performance in sufficient detail so that two raters who understand the rubric in the same way would evaluate a particular performance or product in the same way.
One must be careful in creating a reliable, concise, and unbiased rubric to ensure students have the ability to grow.
A rubric is a scoring guide used to evaluate performance, a product, or a project.
It is important that a rubric demonstrate fairness for all types of learners, without racial, cultural, gender, or other biases
Develop fair, reliable, and accurate rubrics
The backward approach to designing the rubrics is helpful to me. Need to define the end state and then develope the criteria.
Provided wonderful websites for developing rubrics with tips to make sure the rubric can be edited.
A well written rubric should calibrate grading between those evaluating the work. I will take this information and evaluate and improve the rubric I am currently using:)
Collecting student examples (exemplars) to use as a) student examples and, b) anchor papers for scoring, is a simple addition to a rubic rollout that will prove to be beneficial.
Reply to Philip Gray's post:Hello Philip, I didn't think about looking at Rubrics online but so glad I took this section of the course to better guide me on that directions.
Reply to Aarti Savoor's post: Hello Aarti Savoor's. Yes building a rubric is a complex process I just learned about how Technical Quality/Fairness should allow for rubrics to be fair to all student including English as a secondary language. Liked you stated in your post a well created rubric will allow to evaluate themself and help meet their requirements listed in the rubric.
Something I didn't consider before was that I need to ask myself if Technical Quality Fairness should allow for rubric to be fair to all students, including English as a secondary language. It is something I will definitely reconsider when creating a rubric.
There are resources to help us develop our rubics.
Rubric building websites....COOL!
I learned the importance of the rubrics in the lessons. The descriptors are very important to evaluate the material.
In this module, I have learned that a rubric should be fair to all students independent of racial, cultural, gender, or other biases. A good rubric is reliable if two raters using the rubric to rate the same work assign similar scores; in other words, raters should be in agreement. A rubric is reliable also if the rating actually represents what students can do.
