Most of what I do is more effectively evaluated with rubrics. Abstract concepts like "acculturation" don't lend well to multiple guess evaluations. Additionally, it's not effective to ask them to "discuss" in the objectives and then evaluate them in a "quiz".]]> 2020-05-05 15:30:17 UTC https://padlet.com/tmmpowell/uj04ms5t59c2ppks/wish/552439531 spayne661 https://padlet.com/tmmpowell/uj04ms5t59c2ppks/wish/553057477 I have found that using a rubric is extremelly helpful in letting students know exactly what I am looking for in an assignment. ]]> 2020-05-05 19:19:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tmmpowell/uj04ms5t59c2ppks/wish/553057477 spayne661 https://padlet.com/tmmpowell/uj04ms5t59c2ppks/wish/553075703 Rubrics are extremelly helpful with grading different media assignments.  ]]> 2020-05-05 19:27:29 UTC https://padlet.com/tmmpowell/uj04ms5t59c2ppks/wish/553075703 spayne661 https://padlet.com/tmmpowell/uj04ms5t59c2ppks/wish/553103018 I have found that with a rubric students understand the grading process better. ]]> 2020-05-05 19:40:10 UTC https://padlet.com/tmmpowell/uj04ms5t59c2ppks/wish/553103018 https://padlet.com/tmmpowell/uj04ms5t59c2ppks/wish/553527957 Rubrics are an excellent tool to make grading easier for myself and for my students to understand.

In the instructions for the assignments, I have already explained what students are supposed to write about. This rubric is to tell them how to write. It will serve as a guide for students to follow—they will know what are expected of their papers. In addition, my grading will be based on the rubric, which will surely make it much easier for me to decide how many points is a paper worth. ]]> 2020-05-10 22:05:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tmmpowell/uj04ms5t59c2ppks/wish/563494552 https://padlet.com/tmmpowell/uj04ms5t59c2ppks/wish/564487827 This is a rubric for a hominin (human ancestor) comparative skull lab. The lab is virtual, and students use 3D models of different species skulls. It will be helpful for students to see that I not only want them to correctly identify the cranial features but also be able to interpret why these features changed across human evolution. I think that the rubric shows that I want them to engage with multiple levels of Bloom's taxonomy. ]]> 2020-05-11 10:43:53 UTC https://padlet.com/tmmpowell/uj04ms5t59c2ppks/wish/564487827 https://padlet.com/tmmpowell/uj04ms5t59c2ppks/wish/564866965 A rubric is a great way to clearly communicate your expectations to students. I always found them helpful when I was a student. In a journalism course, I would probably take more of a holistic approach, but an analytic approach could work for something like my query letter assignment, which has some clearly defined parts. Because there is a clear structure, a rubric further explains to the student what is necessary to create them. I think this would work well in my course.]]> 2020-05-11 13:40:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tmmpowell/uj04ms5t59c2ppks/wish/564866965 https://padlet.com/tmmpowell/uj04ms5t59c2ppks/wish/564958676 I think rubrics are most useful when a student wants to know how a grade decision was reached.

What I dislike about rubrics is giving a numerical value to the descriptors. What is the difference between a 75% and a 77%?. I worry about my intra-rater reliability. It's easy to distinguish between "Exceeds" vs. "Meets" expectations, but not that much within one category (a high vs. mid "Meets expectations"). Yet, numbers are necessary to calculate course averages.]]> 2020-05-11 16:56:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tmmpowell/uj04ms5t59c2ppks/wish/565476703 https://padlet.com/tmmpowell/uj04ms5t59c2ppks/wish/565495801 This is a rubric for a writing assignment that requires students to write a formal response to multiple historical documents.

This is a rubric for assessing a Myers Briggs assignment. Rubrics are especially helpful for students to preview prior to submitting their assignments to assure they have included all requirements for the assignment.

The purpose is to have students begin to get to know each other while they are also learning how to pay close attention to and interpret our readings. I also use it as a way of setting a standard of expectations. It is perfect for rubric grading.

I usually don't incorporate them in D2L, but I can see the value in doing it this way. For students, it allows them to see where they excelled or fell short and I've found it eliminates a lot of the back and forth after grades are returned. They can't argue with a grade if you've documented where they've lost points and why. I love going over the rubric when covering the assignment and encourage the students to view the rubric as a checklist.

I am not a fan of rubrics. I just don't feel there are many rubrics in life outside the classroom. In a way, grant proposals have rubrics. And I suppose we could argue the promotion process has something akin to a rubric. But I want students to be able to read an assignment (and re-read as many times as necessary) and be able to create their own framework for what is important in an assignment. I feel that the goal for rubrics is a good one. We want to be objective and fair. But I just think that the idea of increased objectivity and fairness via rubrics is a a bit of an illusion. ]]> 2020-05-26 00:34:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tmmpowell/uj04ms5t59c2ppks/wish/593808693 https://padlet.com/tmmpowell/uj04ms5t59c2ppks/wish/595632881 I have never used rubrics to grade assignments.
