So I'm going to be nit-picky, but these aren't rubrics. Technically they are scoring guides. The difference is that a rubric actually defines what work at the various levels looks like. A rubric would say to the student, "This is what it takes to get 5 points in this area, and this is what it would take to only get 1 point in this area." Rubrics are incredibly hard to write and even harder to get right.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I don't always think rubrics are the best way to evaluate students. Sometimes a quick scoring guide like what you have is the best. I would save rubrics for the bigger, more important work, and scoring guides for lesser valued assignments.
And I'm glad you are. I read your comments and agree; therefore, I have edited the information to refer to scoring guides rather than rubric. For the assignments related to the course, a scoring guide is more appropriate. Thanks! I appreciate it.
